Burnout

Is this start of burn out?

I'm not trying to be a jerk but with a picture that blurry, nobody can tell you what you want to know. If you upload a clearer pic, as well as one of the inside of the chamber, we might be able to help.

I don't see anything but a blurred photo of a pipe.

Thanks for the better photos. Looks like a void that has burned through. I'd take the cake down to the wood, where the burnout is, and see what that looks like. Will likely verify what you're thinking.

That can be saved... A little CA on the outside and pipe mud on the inside...

If this is in focus I think its the start of me needing new glasses.

Clean the bowl down to the briar. Pick out the charred portions of the bowl. Inside the bowl a mixture of plaster, charcoal, and salt. Driers very hard. 2 parts plaster, 1 part charcoal, 1 part salt. Press this into the burnt portion. It may take a couple of applications. After dry, sand the repair flush.
For the outside, if this is a crack mix briar dust and CA glue and apply with a toothpick. This repair can be touched up with a furniture pen, or a jiffy marker.
