I might turn some of it into a bowl. I have a lathe that has been collecting dust for too long now.

That will be a very nice bowl!
Just a bit of a pity that the inside will end up as dust if you turn it on the lathe.
Isn't there another technique where you can chisel the inside out in one piece? Think I've heard something like that. Japanese maybe?

A bowl?
Well, I do suppose it would be a very nice bowl....but since you have a lathe, I'd suggest you make up some dreamy brush handles and get some Golden Nib knots in there...
and make up some scales out of the scraps...
and send a nice hunk to me....

I bet there will be lots of leftovers if the curly part is going to become a bowl.
I would not want to make the first cut though.
