Birch Log Bowl

A friend gave me several small birch logs.  So far, one has been completely cut up and turned into bowls.  This is one of them.  It's finished in gloss brushing lacquer over boiled linseed oil (BLO) and I gave it to John as a token of appreciation for giving me the wood.  As you can see, there's some light spalting in places and the BLO really made the grain come alive.
