As the title says, this is my first post. I harvested the burl locally and turned a few bowls from it. This Bowl is about 18 1/2" across and a little over 10" tall.
There was a large inclusion that when turned, it left a hole in the side. The other large cracks I used leather to lace them together to give the illusion that the leather was holding it together. For the smaller cracks I crushed up raw turquoise, mixed it with 5min epoxy.
I finished it with a few coats of sanding sealer then lacquer.
Comments and ESPECIALLY criticisms are welcome.
