I scored a section of a log sufficient for two bowls. Noticing that the bark is quite tight, I decided that one of them should be a natural or bark edge bowl and turned all at once (or nearly so). Later, I will turn the other half rough, let it dry, and finish turn it later.

Then we can compare the two bowls from the same wood and same size. Unfortunately, it will take time to dry the other bowl.

The bark stayed on this bowl. It is nice at 10 inches by 4 inches and finished with walnut oil.

Enjoy.
