Bark came off while finish turning - too bad, it looked pretty neat.

Mark that a beauty. I had the same thing happen to me so I burned the edge. Nice job.

To help ensure the natural edge remains on the the finished turning, the wood needs to be selected and cut in the fall after leaves fallen off, until late winter. That this time the tree is dormanite, has less live sap and wood as slightly shrunk, which tights everything up. Which aides in holding the bark on. So please keep this in mind when cutting natural edge bowl blanks.

Nice work Mark. I love the form on this one.

What Bill said. Also a little thin CA where the bark meets the sapwood when getting close also works wonders. Still love it!

Mark, I really like that form! The rim is very interesting without the bark...in fact, I think I prefer it without for this kind of form.

Nicely Done Mark.
Don't you just love the way black cherry smells when you are turning it?

Mark I have to say I have looked at this a couple times and realy like the shape. It reminds me of clay pottery where the rim has collapsed while sculpting Their is just something very visually pleasing about it to me.
I hope that came out right it is meant as a compliment. I find if I have to look at something several times to form an opinion their is really something to it.
