Thanks for the suggestions, I think I might just make the walls a little thinner and finish it with danish oil.

Can anyone tell me what tree this burl came from? also I finished the bowl with shellawax cream and it went hard in the cracks, is there any way to remove it from the cracks?

I looked at the pen mandrels by GPW and Timber bits and it seems they only accept morse tapers and my Galaxy lathe only has a morse taper in the tailstock and the headstock has a thread. Is there...
