Guess I'm done for the day!

[Mortalis]

And it was going so well.

Well, DAMN !!!!!

I'm going to see if I glue it back together.

 

[boatemp]

That's rough. Sorry bout that

 

[Joebobber]

I'd leave it as is and sell it as a "rustic"

 

[bsshog40]

Ouch!

 

[SteveJ]

So sad

 

[KMCloonan]

Yikes. That was some beautiful wood too! Maybe convert some of it into pen display stands?

 

[tomtedesco]

It happens, glad your OK.

 

[jrista]

So sorry to hear! What a beautiful piece of wood. Sad, but, glad you are ok.

 

[TDahl]

So sorry to see all you hard work go down like that. Like everyone else I am glad to hear you're ok.

 

[penicillin]

Sad to see, but what is truly important is that you walked away unhurt, ready to get back to it tomorrow.

How far did the pieces fly? Did you set a new record?

 

[studioseven]

I feel your pain.

Seven

 

[TellicoTurning]

Been there, done that, have the scars to prove it.

 

[howsitwork]

Maybe use the bits to make a pen display stand?

Glad you are OK. Important thing is no one , apart from your pride, got hurt.

Although I bet your nerves took a fair hit too ?

 

[Woodchipper]

That's enough to make a preacher cuss! I've had similar things happen to me. Like Tellico Turner, fortunately, my scars are hard to see.

 

[Mortalis]

Thanks everyone but I think I have a plan.
I found all the major pieces and glued them all together with Titebond 2, used a band strap to hold it all together.
The second step of the plan is to make a core that fits into the ID and then fill around the core to the ID with dyed resin. This should stabilize the bowl and allow me to finish turning the ID, again but a bit thicker.
That's my thought anyways.
