Absolutley super bowls very well turned and lovely form. The top one is fantastic wonderful spalting. IMO you got the best out of them. REgards Boysie

Both very nice looking pieces That piece of spalted birch was a good find 8) but out of the two I like the look of the little burr bowl. Good work

Nice shape and if the birch ws anything like the stuff I have found you've done really well to get a good finish on it. Like turning cork. Lovely work.

Great to see some attractive Birch for a change, as Pete said not the easiest to work, like turning cotton wool at times and not often as spectacularly spalted as that piece, most around here just seems to pick up a dirty grey mould that stains the whole wood.
The Burr is very attractive in colour and proportions.

I agree with Doug on the figuring on the birch, very pretty.

The birch is wonderful looking wood, not sure about the shape though, just doesn't jump out at me.

The Burr i just wanna hold ! - looks so warm...........
