This bowl could have easily been fed to the Fire Dawgs as survived. I guess it survived as it was so close to finishing turning that I had too much invested to just throw a bowl this size into the fire. You see the red plug. I turned through th bottom of the bowl and caused a hole. So I fiured out how to turn a plug and turn a fitting for the plug in the bottom of the bow.
Also the darkish area on the back side of the bowl…well this is cross grain which is very difficult to sand out. At the time I did not have the proper sanding equipment to deal with it. Before I sold this bowl I completely resanded and refinished.
I am just glad the Fire Dawgs went a bit hungry that day!
