This is my first attempt at a NE bowl (just over 9" from a walnut log) - as I was turning I was trying to be careful but a small chunk of bark broke off (seen in the first photo at the bottom). what do you do when that happens? Is it ruined or can I strip all the bark off (though likely wouldn't look great).
Any advice on how to avoid this in the future? Other comments/critiques are welcome. Thanks
