Natural edge bowls

[Bugle]

I'm considering carving some bowls similar to these. My question is how do I keep the bark from breaking off? Any help is appreciated.

Harvest the logs after the sap drops.

I've heard the suggestion of CA-ing the bark on before turning is finished (and you can clean up drips).

What Kyle said, Cathy's suggestion also works. Best to whisper a few magic words too.
