Woodturning - Can Pine Be Pretty .... Again?!

So after the success of my two other "Can Pine Be Pretty" videos I wanted to make a third but change the species of pine (not 100% sure what it is), and create a more interesting design. Unfortunately, the wood didn't allow for the design I wanted, the pine had been sitting in the elements for too long and had lots of water ingress. Because of this I put the project on hold for three months and came back to it once it had dried so I could look at it with a fresh perspective. I thought the best way to salvage the piece was to use epoxy resin, it would strengthen the wood and give it a more beautiful finish.
Let me know what you think of the epoxy. Should I use more on the channel, or do you prefer more traditional woodturning?
The bowl is sanded to 7000 grit and finished with Danish oil on the wood, and a buffed finish on the epoxy. The bowl is 215mm diameter, 90 wide, and approximately 70 deep.
Let me know what you think!

Disclaimer:
My videos are for entertainment purposes only. I am still relatively new to woodturning and some of my techniques might not be the "best" or safest. When using any tools or machinery always read and understand safety/manufacturers guidelines.
Yes, I'm aware that wearing gloves while woodturning is considered an unsafe practise. The gloves I wear are tight fitting and don’t have any loose threads. I wear them for the protection of my skin. This is a risk that I am willing to take, however I am still very conscious of the potential danger and I do not touch any spinning parts of the lathe. DO NOT do anything you don’t feel comfortable doing.

Amazing. Questions, how do you sharpen your tools and how often? Also, what is that finish you put on all your work? I also turn so really keen to learn more from you. Thanks. Watching from Oxford England.

[@mxtoiletparty]

In my personal experience, turning with slightly duller tools after a couple of turns still feels ok and doesn't have bad repercussions on the piece. But I try to sharpen every 3 to 5 pieces depending on the time i spend on them aswell and the hardness of the woods. Thick turning tools hold up quite well.

[@karenmitchell3947]

So you sharpen your carbide tools?

I'd say the answer to the video title is, No. Not without the help of some stabilization with epoxy resin. Otherwise, it looks great.

I think that settles it. If you start out with a nicely spalted piece, dry it gradually over 3 months, submerge it in resin and turn most of it into sawdust, then yes - pine can indeed be pretty. ;-) And if you add the talent of Harry Smith it can evidently become a beautiful masterpiece!
