So after the success of my two other "Can Pine Be Pretty" videos I wanted to make a third but change the species of pine (not 100% sure what it is), and create a more interesting design. Unfortunately, the wood didn't allow for the design I wanted, the pine had been sitting in the elements for too long and had lots of water ingress. Because of this I put the project on hold for three months and came back to it once it had dried so I could look at it with a fresh perspective. I thought the best way to salvage the piece was to use epoxy resin, it would strengthen the wood and give it a more beautiful finish.
Let me know what you think of the epoxy. Should I use more on the channel, or do you prefer more traditional woodturning?
The bowl is sanded to 7000 grit and finished with Danish oil on the wood, and a buffed finish on the epoxy. The bowl is 215mm diameter, 90 wide, and approximately 70 deep.

Let me know what you think!

Disclaimer:
My videos are for entertainment purposes only. I am still relatively new to woodturning and some of my techniques might not be the "best" or safest. When using any tools or machinery always read and understand safety/manufacturers guidelines.
Yes, I'm aware that wearing gloves while woodturning is considered an unsafe practise. The gloves I wear are tight fitting and don’t have any loose threads. I wear them for the protection of my skin. This is a risk that I am willing to take, however I am still very conscious of the potential danger and I do not touch any spinning parts of the lathe. DO NOT do anything you don’t feel comfortable doing.
