No, Gary, you don't. But, I bet ya' did!!!!:D:D;)

[Robert McGowen]

I guess a picture is worth a 1000 words....

[Baxter Smith]

Great grain. Nice shape. Have any epoxy?;)

[David Christopher]

I believe I would get out the glue.....thats to nice to burn

[Bill Bolen]

Been there, done that and still sick about each and every one...Bill...

[Gary Chester]

Thanks for the sympathy gents...

I'm having a bit of scotch and the GF has already glued it back together so all will be well soon.

It's a punky, cracked, rotted, twisted piece of Apricot, and I like it, so maybe it is worth saving... and what have I got to lose...

Wish me luck.

[curtis rosche]

those cracks would look even beter scorched,, that is a really cool looking grain

[Chris Haas]

looked like a hawiian sunset to me hope you can save it.

[Steve Schlumpf]

Time to take a break and let the glue dry! Looking forward to seeing the completed piece!

[Roland Martin]

BUMMER!! Very nice figure, form, get the glue out. Good Luck.

[Donny Lawson]

Glue,Duct tape,and a Hammer will fix almost anything.Oh yea,a little sandpaper will help too.

[Bernie Weishapl]

Make that two scotches and let the glue dry.

[Joe Meirhaeghe]

Ya I've been there done that & got the T-Shirt too.
I hope not to go back any time soon too.

[Steve Mawson]

Isn't that just the way it goes, the pretty ones are the ones that get messed up. Good luck with the redo, hope it turns out great.:D

[Gary Chester]

OK... Bernie suggested I have a second bit of scotch... so I did... Donny suggested duct tape... and Chris is seeing sunsets... this has all inspired me to acquire an avatar :confused::confused::confused: ... he can fix it!!!

I'm not exactly following the logic here :rolleyes:... but the piece will return to the lathe, even tho it may see nothing more the the "80 grit" gouge for safety reasons.

Thanks to this great forum for the inspiration and entertainment! :D:D:D

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Gee Ranger Rick.....did you come down from you tower?

I'd use some epoxy and let it set over night.

Good luck with it! It's a pretty piece of wood and great form so far.

[Mike Minto]

i hate it when that happens!

[James Combs]

I wish it had happen to me!! It would mean that I at least could turn something decent besides pens.:)

[Richard Coers]

Didn't you see the back cover of the AAW Journal? The guy glued one back together with tinted epoxy, called it art, and I think I recall that he sent it to Japan for a show.
I would have guessed red bud for the wood till you said apricot. Red bud has that green tinge and almost always has that rotted shake in the pith.
Sorry for your "experience".
