A dam on one side of the bowl can be made by applying tape to cover the cracked area.
If the grain orientation s different where the crack is found make the wedge accordingly.
Whittle some wedges of wood touch some medium ca cleanly into the gap then slip the wedge s in until it fills.
A hunk of green wood that has been split and or sawn out into a bowl like object is shedding moisture fast and it will start to crack up right before your eyes.
This is why most bowl turners state that once you get started you better have the time to finish.
Cracks run deep so it is sometimes wise to tape the entire piece inside a plastic bag.
Tape up the sides and bottom of the piece to keep the resin inside.
Don t wipe squeeze out cut it later.
While mixing the epoxy parts add the color mix and then apply the mixture to the cavity.
Mix the two part five minute epoxy check amazon for current price according to the product instructions in a portion large enough for the given wood bowl crack area.
Ca glue and fine wood dust packed into the cracks works well.

I decided that i wanted to try some experimentation with casting epoxy resin i hadn t used it much before but found a local place in auckland that was selling it at a really reasonable price initially i bought 3 litres 2l epoxy 1l hardener the.
It s hard to show it with just the images but if i grab the sides and pull the cracks are deep enough that the whole bowl pulls apart.
Favorite add to resin and white branches sambugarohandmade.
My second choice is bark shavings where bark is present in the piece followed by crushed bark.
I did some looking and searching and found that others had used polyester resin or epoxy resin to fill in cracks in pieces.
It s a nice piece so i didn t want to give up on it.
