ok, I'm confused - what's wrong with screwing the blank to a faceplate? -
for anything of size, that's what I do - don't put the faceplate on teh
bottom of hte bowl, put it on the top side, shape the outside of the bowl
including the foot, reverse into a chuck and then hollow it out, reverse
onto a vac chuck (or longworth chuck) clean up the chuck marks on the foot,
finish the bottom and you are done

99 times out of 100, nothing. That's why I rarely use a glue block-
but there are some exceptions. My wife does pyrography, and sometimes
the blanks she cuts out are less than even, so I stick them on a glue
block and turn them round and put a little profile on the edge. But
that doesn't happen that often, usually she does her burning on
irregular or rectangular stock. She does her burning on 1/2" thick
maple, for the most part, so a glue block is the best bet.

In those cases, putting screws into the back might not destroy the
piece, but it just doesn't look as good.
