Bowl Turning Question

[Michael Pfau]

I am somewhat new to bowl turning. I am turning a Piece of Hackberry, that is 13 inches in diameter. I have some cracks appearing on the inside edge of bowl. I have roughed turned it. It is somewhat green yet. What can I put on the cracks to seal and harden it. Super glue? Looking for advise. Thank you!

If the cracks are large enough, fill them with coffee grounds, then soak with CA. Next, put it in a brown paper bag with some.............a lot of chips and let it dry out. Check it weekly and when dry, finish turn it. Look for the pattern that appears to be interlocked cloth.
