We had a fairly new turner on our UK forum bemoaning the fact that he had gone through the bottom of a bowl. Big club that one
I posted this to show one way of doing a save and thought it might be of use to some here tho' no doubt it isn't new for a lot of you
One 12" elm platter with a hole in the bottom

Wood is too nice to throw so
make a small pedestal and a button in a contrasting wood that fits through the hole and into the pedestal

Put all pieces together and voila

Who's to know it wasn't intended except perhaps another turner who has done the same thing
