First one of the year and it's a blow-out. What can I turn this into, or how could I fix it? I'm open to all suggestions!

Flatten the bottom then glue a piece of contrasting wood to the bottom. Put it back on the lathe.

Second this - I turned thru the bottom of a piece of Osage forever ago, glued walnut to the bottom and cut into it a little bit from the inside, wound up looking pretty good.
