A partly burl grain with ingrown bark left in the bowl. I like leaving this type bark on the bowls but it can be risky if I don't get it all stabilized properly. The risk involves shrinkage of the bark that has been growing inside of the tree and has been kept in a constant state of high moisture content, and now is starting to dry out, therefore the purpose of stabilizing it with cyanoacrylate adhesive, or CA glue. The effect can be beautiful if all goes according to plan.
