The ash wood for this plate came from a friend's tree over a decade ago. At that time, I was cutting for bowls but had a couple of slabs left over that were near the pith. I sealed the wood with wood sealer and left it to dry.
I got busy and did not get back to the wood for a long time. In the meantime, the wood dried, warped, and developed a crack. The crack bothered me since I had left some of the pith in the slab. That is where the crack was.
There was additional delay as I debated whether to use a screw center or a pin face plate. A screw center requires a pilot hole to a precise depth. Since a plate is shallow, this was a risk. The kink from the wood warping would also not let the wood seat well on the screw center.
On the other hand, a pin faceplate must have the wood held by the live center. I like to finish the bottom side early in the turning process but the live center would have been in the way.
I compromised by cutting a sacrificial tenon and flipping the wood over one additional time. The sacrificial tenon would be on the top side of the bowl.
The plate is 9 inches in diameter and finished with walnut oil. A loose knot decorates the center.
