I made this bowl a few years ago. I put it on a commercial plate holder, and I never liked it.

A year ago, I made a new plate holder out of black walnut, and for me, it worked much better that the original. By the way the crack happened when the wood was drying, and I turned it with the crack. A bit nerve wracking but it worked. I entered it as the 3rd of three pieces (meaning I didn't get the planned 3rd piece finished in time) in a local arts council show. It was the only one of my 3 pieces chosen for the exhibit. Out of over 300 entries from around the country, it got an honorable mention (4th place). Alas, always a bride's maid, never a bride. :eek: :D I just entered 3 pieces in this years show yesterday. I guess I'll see what happens. Anyway, here is the piece with a new plate holder.
