Note I have updated this with a second photo after more wood has been removed. See about 8 posts down.

This 7” by 4 ½” Russian Olive vase is from a branch that fell in a storm last year. There was a depression in the side that I originally planned to turn out. When I got this far I had second thoughts and would like your input. The depression is about ¼” to the bark and probably ¾” to solid wood. So it will most likely be a hole after hollowing.
If I stop here I will have the hole plus the second bark spot. If I turn it down another ¼ inch I will have just the bark rimmed hole. I could keep going and end up with a thinner vase and solid wood. What would you do?
I would also appreciate comments or critique of the shape.
Thanks for your input.
