Well Ken don't feel bad. That bowl is not firewood for sure. Great looking piece. I did the same thing today. I was so angry at myself because I knew better.:mad::bang: Just one last cut to smooth things out. Yea you guessed it right thru the bottom. I squared the bottom, glued a piece of cherry on and will finish turning tomorrow.
 
Nice save, Ken. I'm usually not real fond of plugged bowl bottoms, but with such sweet wood, and that large size, I can see why you weren't willing to just toss this one. :thumb:
