Turn up a domed piece of scrap in the chuck, mount your bowl with a bit of cork, anti slip matting or just some folded kitchen roll. Use the tailstock to clamp it with a revolving centre.
Remove the bulk of the waste material and remove the remaining pip off the lathe.

Holes are easily solved as well, fill with a bit of the sanding dust from your finishing and soak with CA glue. Do this after polishing the surrounding area though the glue stains the wood. Sand the hardened dust back flush when dry. Sometimes it will leave a darker circle but better than a hole.

I was going to make an oak dowel and push it true I might look ok

 

[Bodrighy]

That'd work fine if the hole is that big LOL.
