October 16, 20214 yr Popular Post Some here may remember that a couple years ago I made 28 offering plates of which 16 were acceptable size and the rest were gifted. Well I had some blanks that did not make the cut unless it was urgent. This is the best of those as I finally got back onto turning them.
