Will definitely be an art piece unless you do a lot of epoxy work. I've only turned a few pieces of mulberry but my experience and what I'm told is expect a lot of cracks and movement if it was green/wet when turned.
Would I turn it? Probably not.
Could I turn it? Yes. I would do it on my CNC mill to minimize any needed sanding. I've used various ways to mechanically stabilize fragile pieces. Bondo auto body filler works well using Saran wrap liner so it doesn't stick to the wood. Also wax granules melted to fill and stabilize.
Why are you turning it? Sometimes pieces like this are shown, my thought is they were done as a personal challenge or to demonstrate the turner's skill. Most everything I turn is utilitarian and if it happens to be attractive that's even better. A bowl with a void in the side wouldn't be utilitarian.
Just don't use it for soup and it will be fineIt will take a lot of sanding. Hard (for me) to get a smooth cut with that big void.

Should finish it today.
probably not but if I had, I’d have used every screw hole in a larger faceplate to minimize the chance of an airborne chunk.
I credit the ants.Absolutely, I love this sort of challenge. Although Mulberry, where I live is very drab and not exactly inspiring and I dont see much of it.
