Mulberry Burl Bowl Update

As I said in the initial post for this piece, I turned it while the wood was still green which made for a lot of warping of the wood. Dramatically so, as you can see in these photos. I did further work on the Mulberry bowl by filling in the voids and cracks with pigmented epoxy. I mixed gold powder (powdered gold colored mica) and poured it into the voids and cracks, over-filling the spaces so I could file it down to the level of the wood surface. I'm a little surprised at how well it worked . I also sanded and polished the wood which looks pretty good, considering.
