[Woodcarver] Gluing the wood to a spacer block.

[TWWOODWORK at aol.com]

My question to the wood turners is, do you glue a spacer
block to  the wood that you are turning and screw your faceplate to  that  
spacer?  If you do, what kind of glue are you using for that?
 
Forgot one. If I were to use glue other than hot melt glue, I would put a  
piece of brown paper (grocery bags are good for this) between the spacer  block 
and the wood to be turned.
    Also, if you wanted to make a split turning, glue  two pieces of wood 
together lengthwise with brown paper glued in  between the two. When removed from 
the lathe, you can split it with a chisel.  Example, turning columns for a 
fireplace with 1/2 the column on either  side.
