Yes, it is a very pleasant to look at, piece.
That branch "hook" would be a tremendous hand destroyer if was positioned the other way around and as the lathe rotates, fortunately for you, it endup the right/safer way...!
If the wood was very dry, you could have made it a little thinner on the wall, you should only go, as far as you confidence levels allows you to.
You never had much bark to work with from the start, as the first thing that fall out from the log/slab when the wood dries, is the bark so, you may have had none there to start with but if you did, it would be very loose and it would come out as soon as the lathe turned unless, you had used the thin CA to glue it in place and make it all more solid to work with, that is what we all have to do, is 90% of the natural edge pieces we make...!
I like it, anyway...!
