In this video I finish turn a set of roughed out cored burl bowls. The bowls all have some degree of cracking in them that needs to be dealt with. For some cracks I use 5 minute epoxy, others I use normal epoxy and for just small cracks I use wood dust and CA glue. The woodturning is fairly straightforward and uses the same approach I use on all my cored bowls that have been initially turned wet and then final turned after the piece is dry.
