I have a pecan bowl I left some bark on the edge and now I'm wondering if I need to CA or treat the bark before drying it? First timer for this project.
Agree and I'll go one step further...I don't particularly enjoy turning a natural edge (chasing bark in the shavings, gluing little bits back, worrying about cutting/sanding, etc.). Also, I personally don't particularly like the looks of a bark edge on a vessel. I know that there are some folks that like the look so I do, in fact, turn them on some bowls, vases, boxes, etc. However, there is no dodging the fact that the bark is going to inevitably chip off if the piece is used/handled with any regularity. My preference is to just not fool with the bark. Just my opinions...Every time I left the bark on, some one would come into the booth and pick the piece up by the bark, of course, and the bark broke. Gave up on them.
