This is two first for me. Sunday I was sanding the inside of a 12” diameter bowl running at 50 rpm. I heard a loud pop and knew the bowl had cracked. Darn, although I wasn’t happy with the tear out on the beading, Took it off the lathe to put in the firewood pile for later. Today I looked at it and cannot even see any evidence of a crack. It did not crack through to the inside initially, guessing the crack went about 1/4” deep. If I hadn’t known it was cracked I would have never discovered it, Will let set a week and see if it opens up again. Have anyone had this happen to you?
