Earlier this fall I was asked to turn some bowls from a larger trunk.  Some time on the Internet suggested that the trunk of weeping cherries is a common sweet cherry.  The wood turned very well and I think will have nice color when sanded and finished.  However, three of the "once turned" seven bowls have long cracks completely through the tenon and bottom, and two more have short cracks at the base of their tenons, cracks that do not extend to the inside surface.

So if offered the trunk of a weeping or sweet cherry, . . .

Over the years I've filled a number of worm holes, small voids, and such with quick epoxy tinted with dry pigments, but there is no way to make a long straight through crack in the bottom of a bowl look natural or artistic in my opinion.  And there's little chance the two worst bowls would be appealing to the tree's owners or to shoppers even with additional pseudo-cracks carved and filled with tinted epoxy or metal powders.  (Sorry, I've never thought turquoise was an attractive filler in wood.)

To answer your question Mike, yes they can be made functional even for snacks and other food uses, but they wouldn't help pay the studio overhead.
