Looking for ideas - Bagel shaped plaque

[David Bolson]

I've been asked to make a plaque to award to the winner of a bagel themed race. I've been playing with ideas in my head, but nothing that sticks. Possibly turn a bagel/donut shape about 8" in diameter, slightly flatten one side and glue it to a plate.... Possibly make a "bagel bowl" - like a bagel cut in half with the inner bread removed, leaving the bottom of the "bowl" flat in the middle where the hole would be (would require some very delicate work at the junction of the bagel hole and the back)....

Any suggestions cheerfully received. Thanks.

Interesting challenge.

Is there wording to go on the plaque?
Is it a serious event or a parody?

I would consider a small platter with turned bagel glued on and possibly a stand made from a turned bagel

Maybe a bite taken from the bagel

And most important is the bagel. Plain, sesame seed, poppy seed …? Cream cheese or not?

Have fun! Show us what you come up with

You could do a split turning to get two halves of a bagel. Glue two boards together with paper between them and after turning the bagel you can split it at the glue line.

<Cream cheese or not?>
Also lox, tomato and onion.

Enjoy.

I decided to make it a little easier on myself. Pumpernickel bagel (aka Walnut).
