Boysie, natural edge can include bark but not always. Basically it is the outside of the log / trunk with or without the bark. Untouched by tools

This bowl for example has no bark but is natural edge

Without the bark is usually referred to as waney edge and with the bark natural edge

I thought Waney edge was a plank cut straight from the trunk with the bark on and sold as Waney edge :?
Or is this just for turners descriptions of pieces:?
The piece Pete is showing is still the woods natural edge/shape,but without the bark isn't it :?:

I've heard the terms Through & Through and Waney Edge used for referring to boards from a saw mill but not sure of the difference. :roll: Haven't used a saw mill/timber merchant for years :lol:

I stand corrected. Like Paul I thought of waney edge as referring to planks, how does this relate to the sides of the bowl which are predominantly natural / waney wood?
