My beautiful $9.00 piece of stabilized spalted maple split in 2 and flew off the mandrel tonite. Any way to tell why this happend ?

I was about to say the same thing.
If you get a small area that's not bonded to the brass it'll tend to want to pull away from the tube. The area around it is fully glued so it doesnt want to pull away. Put those two conditions together side-by-side and I think that's why a lot of tubes blow out.
Just my guess.
but there is 2 sections that are missing..one on each end
