i'm turning green maple and cherry into bowls and using a faceplate with
waste wood/glue/paper/glue/bowl blank.
i've been told not to use soft waste wood because it won't hold as well.
fact or fiction?

It definitely won't hold as well as hardwood; the screw threads are where
most trouble occurs IMO. However, where you are using the glue/paper trick
on wet wood the weak link may not be the soft wood if you use good size
screws and as many as you can.
