I don`t got it, this was my first bowl from a rough blank, just one more little touch up on a little tear out KABOOM :eek: :mad: pieces all over the place, could not find them all, oh well, its part of that experience thing you guys keep talking about, it was a nice piece of bermuda cedar about 4 inches accross.

That's a sick feeling and I hate it. Once I got so mad I took a piece of the broken bowl outside and drove it almost a foot into the ground with the blunt end of a hatchet.:mad:

The good news is, you probably learned something valuable and there is plenty more wood! Hang in there!
