I would be crushed. Then, I would try to part off the bottom and salvage what I could.

NOOOOOOO!!!!!! man that sucks bad. I always tell myself before I start doing a pen that is going to take awhile, that it could blow up, be ready for it. That looks to me to have taken much longer then a pen. Can it be saved?

Looks like clean breaks. With a little patience and skill it may survive.

I'm going to try and see if I can put clamps on it to pull it back together and part off the bottom.

Ouch. I've never seen one break apart cleanly like that. I hope you can find a way to salvage it.

Ok. I also used titebond two on segmented bowls with no problem generally. What kind of wood was it?

You must have hit a 'sour note!'
Maybe you can save this piece as you have stated and I certainly wish you the best of success in your efforts.

It was maple and jatoba. I know what went wrong. I had donut holding it on but didn't like the way it was turning and used hot melt glue and very little support from tail stock so it wasn;t being held very well but I only wanted to clean up bottom.

It looks like a simple fix for someone who can get this far. Good luck and we want to see pictures when you are finished.

Oh no. That sucks. That's a really nice piece. I would try to jam chuck the rim an cut the bottom off. Glue a new piece of wood on the bottom and return the foot.
