Woodturning - I made it with a Grape Vine

Was going to be called another log to bowl but, I had some left over grape vine cuttings that can be seen in the back ground at the start of the video, hence the title.

Filler used is Starbond Thin CA glue and some glittery stuff I picked up from a local craft store, the main filler is Ground Coffee and some more glittery stuff. The pieces are glued into place using the medium CA glue. The spray is the accelerator for the glue. If you are using this technique please ensure the glue is fully dry before turning and wear decent eye protection or a face shield, having CA glue fly out at you will not be pleasant especially if it lands in your eye.

Wood is apple, log was cut green, ends sealed and placed in the drier for a few weeks before turning, Total MC was less 10%. Grape vine pieces were left to air dry for a couple of months before being put in a hot oven at 150c for 2 hours to fully dry out.
