I would not have went to the trouble except this was the root ball of a small tree my son took down at his house. His first tree removal at his first house. It had several piths and cracked while drying. I used some CA on the small cracks and sawdust in the larger cracks. While finish turning the side blew out. I put that back with Mesquite sawdust and epoxy. All total I counted 23 mostly small cracks. He likes it. I guess that is all that matters.

It started out larger than the 12 1/2 swing on my delta 46-460 and ended up around 9 inches after I got through all of the rotten wood, and the cracking and drying

Kinda has that coat of many colors effect! Good form and I am sure it is something that your son will cherish for a long time! Nice work on that!

It's called character.... and it seems that both you and the bowl have oodles of it.
