woodturning - Turning a large board without cracks 🤨

I have a large disc of a Weeping Willow here, usually you remove the core from the piece of wood because of the cracking, but in special cases it is possible to leave the core and it gives a beautiful drawing. Hope you like it and I'm curious to see what kind of "painting" you see in the wood.
