A mostly-turned bowl, with purple cosmetic mica filling the fine cracks and screw-holes from the faceplate turning. The cracks radiate from the pith of the tree which is at the bottom of the frame. Some overrun from the CA glue is visible along the sides of the cracks, which will require gentle hand-sanding to remove.

   This morning, I spent another hour and change finish-turning the outside of the bowl, then going back and filling the tiny cracks from the juniper drying with purple cosmetic mica and CA glue. This combination ends up being harder than the juniper wood (I might’ve said this was chokecherry earlier; I was confused), so when I sand off the excess, I’m still left with a tiny ridge. Not really visible as such, but it’s interesting to touch, and more kintsugi than wabi-sabi. (1/2)
