Almost broke the lathe by turning this MASSIVE burl to vase

Almost broke the lathe by turning this MASSIVE elm burl vase
Turning a burl size like this on a wood lathe comes with some challenges but it did not stop me to turning this massive burr / burl into a stunning wooden vase with glass tube insert to make it a fully functional art piece. Hollowing the wooden art was rather difficult so had to improvise halfway through. This burl had so much characteristics so wanted to retain some of the live edge burl to showcase it in the final result.
