Ben - as long as you are OK it was just a learning experience! Bowls do have a tendency to self-destruct at times. Just grab another piece of wood and try again!

Bad gouge ......bad..bad...bowl gouge!
I'm working on a crude NE bowl of sorts. I had tear out in one area....decided I'd try a shear cut. Worked like a champ. Then I got cute thought I'd go ahead and try the shear cut to form the final foot shape....Bad idea....bad bowl gouge.....Well..maybe a bad bowl gouge driver.....

So much to learn, so little time.....
Now you guys are artist --put a small hook on it and place a picture of a duck or something in the center of it with the broken side down and hang it on the wall
Danger! Danger, Will Robinson! Flying Saucers... er.. uh... bowls!
You have to just get back on the horse, Ben... can't let that stop you.
Glad it missed you.

Ben,
Follow CW's suggestion. Finish sand it (off the lathe of course), shoot it with many coats of lacquer, mount it on a brass rod and a base. Call it "trashed art", "woodturner's lament", "broken dreams", or "that's life" and get it into an avante garde gallery. Might even scorch the broken edges a bit, maybe pyrography to accentuate them.

I vote burn it. But hey it was a great story and i loved the pics If my brad. pear keeps on i'm gonna burn it too..................
But where is the broke off piece? The one I snapped the other day.. I have not found the break off yet.
Have a Nice Day!
At least you got your blown up bowl over with for the year. You only get one of those per year, right .
1- I wish I only got one per year, Paul.
2- CW, that's what my dad said- call it "modern art" and hang it up!
3- David, I'll probably throw it into the fire today.
4- Jon, I can't really find the broke off pieces, they probably vaporized.
Oh, well. Got lots more dogwood where that came from.
Boy can I feel your pain Ben!
