Question about wood with bark on it

i have some basswood rounds with bark around the edges, is there anything i can put on the bark or treat it to keep from flaking?

Not sure about bass wood but I think it depends on what time of the year the tree is cut down, some thing to do with the sap going to the roots

Minwax has a wood hardener.  I don't know if that would work but it seems like it might.

Real helpful, huh?
