Biggest bowl yet, a lesson in patience

Twice turned this white oak crotch. The feathering is there but doesn’t stand out. I let it dry for a year. It had a couple of cracks so I filled the biggest one with dark epoxy. It’s almost 19” across and 6” in height. Learned a lot with this one, it’s amazing how size makes it harder. A bunch more big ones during for their second turn… have the “river of wood” on its way!

I love starting from the green tree. Feels more like “farm to table” turning.

First bag!

I finally got my first bag. They are amazing! But I was wondering, they are literally the whole soy bean as the only ingredient. No sodium, engineered crap, etc… I know you have to add flavor to them but these seem like the sweet spot for meat like replacement as a healthy alternative to the engineered impossible/beyond products. Especially since you have the control over adding the flavors.

Am I missing something? I try not to eat the engineered fake meats too often but I do like them. Maybe soy curls are better for eating more frequently?

Anyone have a dietician type background and can speak to this? Thx!
