I made some Christmas baubles as a first try, and man is that fun. Especially when you can just make the chips fly and not worry about what you're making. But I bought some bowl blanks and the whole thing changes now. My questions are these: If you look at the end grain of the blank, it runs from top left down to the bottom center then back up to the top right. Do you turn a bowl so the grain runs with the bowl or against it? And is there something to hold the bowl in place other than a plate with screws in it?
