Default Holes

I sell some stuff through a local gallery - items with lots of worm holes
sell as well as those without - I clean out the holes and turn thin enough
that the perforated nature is clear to the viewer. It does make it harder
to vacuum chuck the end result though.....

As long as the holes are not where I'll be working, I just stick a
piece of masking tape over them. Helps conserve vacuum.

make sure the worms dont get dizzy from the turning. this is easily
achieved by giving the bowl some microwave quality time.
to your point - wood with character is always a plus, though
the average Joe might like his un-naturally perfect.
