The object of watching you-tube videos is to, hopefully, learn something new. In this video I've learned a couple of things: 1) Put a coat of shellac or sanding sealer on the bark of a natural edge bowl to help keep it on, 2) Make and use a tailstock extension to provide support deep within a bowl.. I consider this a very worthwhile video. It is well presented, well photographed, and well worth watching. Plus it's nice to hear speech I can understand.
I always wanted a bowl made from a burl. Never got one yet. My aunt was going to make me one. But never did. Hers. She left most of the out side wood. Covered it in some kind of risen. Had molds to put them in. They were beautiful. She use to sale them she even carved ducks & swans. So very beautiful.
Long sleeve shirts and a spinning lathe can be a dangerous proposition. But, of course, you already know that. If not, you will learn the hard way. Fortunately, skin has a habit of growing back. Nice burl.
Why waste all that wood at the base. You could put a couple of carry-handles onto this, if it was not carved away. Just because it is traditional, that is no way to waste the wood.
Its interesting, but a very ugly. It's just a turned piece , no finesse, not a very classic shape ....once you can turn a bowl, you can turn a bowl, but adding that something special needs more skill than just hollowing it out..

When you are sanding with that long sleeve shirt on, it scars me.
