Dogwood crotch. Does this sound safe?

I cut open a crotch from a Dogwood I took down a few months ago. It has a bark inclusion that ran all the way through the log. The wood appears sound but I'm a little leary of it. I had planned on two natural edge bowls from this log.If I can turn it without it coming apart the inclusion will run along the bottom of the bowl almost all the way up each side. I soaked the inclusion in super glue now I debating wether to cut this up to smaller pieces for something other than bowls. I wil post pictures on WOW.Comments? JB

Doesn't sound safe to me. The bark will never be as strong as the rest of the bowl. Sounds like an accident waiting to happen.

most of what i like to turn is cast off from other turners. i lose about 50%, they come apart. the others look spectacular. don't stand in the path of flying peices!! bob
