Arbutus Menzies Burl 3 Footed Bowl Morphed

This storm damaged tree was harvested on a mountain side and a ZIP line set up several times was used to move the wood.. This large bowl has a battle scar likely from being bounced off a rock face, you can see a crack near the rim on the far side. The piece was once turned, wet sanded to 320 with a wall thickness of 1/4" It measured 18.5" X 9" after turning. Finished with tung oil.

Thanks Vincent, I have a picture of the 3 footed on the lathe after wet sanding but don't know how to add that to this comment.
