Aaaah Woody, where would we be without your Life Bowl, you've done a decent job to a nice piece of Elm .. The Birch is nice an chunky in design, won't go anywhere with a load of Apples, the two beads break the flow in the form nicely, they do draw the eye.
Finishes look good for so far .. be very chuffed .. but, now remember to still take it easy.
Cheers for sharing. David
