Don't stop glue on another chunk and keep going! Show us what it ends up looking like.
The wood looks cool what kind is it?

Not a turner, yet, so I would like to see how you go about fixing this. As Thewoodman2000 said, it's a cool piece of wood. Be a crime to waste it. Thanks for sharing.

Looks like an opportunity for a different bowl design

On some of my blow outs, I sawed the bottom off and just made a round picture frame. Hate to waste good wood.

Contrary to popular belief, it IS possible to make the inside of a bowl larger than the outside; it's just not recommended. Glue a contrasting piece of wood on the bottom and go again. ;)

Funny how suddenly bowl turns to blow.
It certainly looks like a "save" is on the cards though.
Best of luck with it.

Looks like you can salvage with some epoxy. Love the grain and the simple shape. Don't despair….blowout happens to everyone!

Yup, had one of those a couple years ago. Gives great opportunity to expand your horizons with a add on piece.

lol can always smooth the inside edge and sting the blowout inside it for a wind chime.
