Hi Brian,

  Good use of the wood bark inclusion and a natural void.

Cheers Martin.

Hi brian and welcome to the forum and your post,  very nice piece, like it very much.   I've got hold of some Silver Birch recently, can only hope it's as nice as this has been, if we have dry weather, maybe I can get into the shop and see what it's like.

Hi Brian,
           it looks very well turned and finished but I'm afraid it's not my cup of tea. I do like the fact that you left the bark on though.
Good to see you posting again.
John
