Nice fix though. I like the way the grain is oriented on the bottom. Good job!

nice design / grain pattern

I too like the symmetry of the grain in both the bottom and the sides. Nice bowl.

P.S. I'm still in the learning phase; what grit did you end up with for sanding, and whats the finish?
Thanks

A very nice "save." It looks as if you planned it that way from the beginning.

A bowl with a drain plug. How ingenious. Looks nice. Good way to use up some small pieces of wood. Keep it up,

Your "design opportunity" worked out well! Very pretty piece.
