Sounds like you are making natural-edge bowls. It isa best to turn the bowl
to completion while the wood is still wet. Distortion will not show much on
an oval bowl. Bark sticks much better to a thin cross section than it does
to a whole log. If it comes off during drying, you can use C/A glue to
reattach it, or just remove the rest of the bark. If you save some of the
scrap bark you can use it for repair as the bowl nears completion.
