Hello,
As the pandemic has confined us to our homes, I've been doing a bit of turning....but I'm still a novice. I had a nice piece of walnut that had "lived" for years in an unheated shed, and cut a bowl blank out of it. Started turning and as you can (I hope) see in the picture, noticed several small cracks in what will be the rim, and I'm not sure how to deal with these. I can try to turn them out and make the bowl smaller....but is there any hope of filling them now with a black epoxy and continuing on? I realize this may all become a moot point if cracks continue to appear as I remove more wood...but I would love to hear what some of you experienced turners think....
Many Thanks,
Izzy
