Well Alex, I think I like that more that on the other two, even though the beech is nicely spalted this really has a nice colour and deep richness. :love_it::love_it:

Very nice Alex, Wenge is a lovely wood and presents itself well but you've managed to present it even better than that.

Tremendous impact Alex finest design and presentation mate truly the best way IMHO to use Wenge its wasted on pens as a rule this bowl shows the broad strokes it can have much like painting so beautiful. You have come a long way mate deserve every credit.

Kind regards Peter.:camera::phew::claps::claps::claps:
