Master Writ Will Not Complete

I have a Master woodworking writ that I've made the item for, and it did not log completion of the quest. I have logged in and out several times (it's been 3 days), and can't abandon and reacquire the quest since it's a master writ and will disappear if I do. I've triple checked that the attributes match and can't see what's wrong. I've attached screenshots of the item and quest.

    @danman5000 : One screenshot shows the item equipped by your character, and one that shows its tooltip discloses that it is Bound. As far as I know, when an item is crafted it is Bind-on-Equip, so it becomes Bound when any character equips it. I have a vague memory about accidentally equipping an item for a Crafting Writ. Subsequently, it was not accepted at the point of delivery, because it was Bound, not Bind-on-Equip.

    Good to know, but it never registered quest completion at any point. It won't be bound as soon as it's made, and I never got credit for it. I only equipped it for the screenshot to provide more evidence it was in the right style.
    Thanks for the reply.

    Welp I figured it out. I made the same item at CP 160 and it worked; quest complete. From what I've heard from everyone else in-game, these writs are not supposed to require CP 160 items, as that is not specified in the writ. I confirmed this by doing a clothier writ with a 150 item and that worked just fine.

    So in summary my woodworker writ was bugged, and forced me to make a 160 item for completion (wasting a good deal of resources).

    I hope ZOS looks into this and is able to address it. I've heard no response from them for several days though.

    I will also be putting in a ticket for a blacksmithing writ that didn't complete. I crafted the item carefully to specs in BOTH 150 AND 160 CPs and neither allows the writ to complete. :(

    I'll return and let people know what response I get from ZOS. Perhaps I'm doing something incorrect when I craft the item, however; I can't see it atm.

    For sure, CP160 items should not be required for writs, other than say Enchanting Glyphs
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    Well, I feel pretty dumb as it was MY error in crafting the gauntlets. I was SO careful to get all the things correct and go to the correct crafting station, etc., however; the error I made was that I crafted an ORDINARY (non-set) pair of gauntlets at the correct special crafting station.

    The only thing I would question is why we need to even be able to craft non set pieces at the special crafting stations out in the world. There are plenty of ordinary non set crafting stations in all the major towns in every zone. However, the bottom line is that this was my error and I apologize for wasting ppl's time!

    I agree with the last paragraph above - why do we need to even have the ability to craft normal gear at set crafting stations?
    Even then, why is the non set gear the left most crafting option and therefore selected by default most times you go to a set crafting station?

    I have wasted so much material accidentally crafting non set CP160 gear it is not funny.
