Great save from the fire heap Sam.
I notice you turned down along the grain with a good end result.
Nice job on concealing the joinery.

Nice piece of surgery Sam, the turning is pretty good also and a nice finish with the super glue. Well done.

Rob,
It was huge but not round. I cut it in half to turn another bowl soon.
