Wow! Incredible recovery, David. I liked the bowl before it blew apart. But now, I like it even more. If it were me turning the bowl, the pieces would have ended up in file 13 or the fire wood pile. But you, took a bowl full of lemons and turned it into lemonade. You came up with a very ingenious way to save the turning. This is why I think you are becoming one of the best wood turners in KZread. And believe me, there are many great wood turners on KZread and you’re among the best.

Easily one of the most amazing bits of turning I've ever seen. Not just the initial turning (which was incredible!) but the rescue. Holy cow! That was brilliant!
