I would like to begin by saying "Bob, Thank you! Your support earlier this year helped my wife and I tremendously and for that, we cannot thank you enough! I hope this bowl lasts you for many Happy Turnings to come!"

For this project I use a piece of slightly spalted red oak that weighed almost 10 pounds and was 11.5 inches in diameter (Lathe max before touching the bed is 12 inches). This piece developed cracks when drying (was left unattended for too long) and thus need some attending too. I was able to fill the cracks with Medium Thick, Black, CA glue from Starbond and once filled, allowed about 7 days for the glue to fully cure. This piece overall cut beautifully and once finished with Waterlox original VOC (Gloss), turned out spectacular!
