Been rough turning a lot of bowls lately. I don’t know why but I always stop a few times before I get finished to look at the progress and shape. This blank looked great when I put it on the lathe. This is what I found during my first stop to inspect. This could have gone very bad. After seeing this I will definitely keep up with the stopping to inspect.

 

Oh, that sux. Really pretty color and some spalting too. 
 

Maybe some CA or butterflies might salvage it. 

Looks like ring shake maybe, nearly impossible to see in a whole, or half log. It's good to stop and look now then.

 

 

Might still salvage the lower portion.  Split the small section out and see what's left as to get the most figure.

Yep good thing you caught that one .
