Everybody's a critic

I was working on this little bowl yesterday. It has a lot of worm holes and a couple were through the side of the bowl. When I quit for the day I brought it in to show the wife and get her opinion about filling them. This morning I took the bowl back to the shop, realized I had forgotten something in the house and left the shop door open and the bowl on my work bench... I was gone five minutes. While I was in the house a little house wren flew into the shop, landed on my bowl and critiqued it.. :rofl:

"Fascilities" is right Norman, she had in mind to make a nest or thought it was full of water. Left a deposit as a sign of claim on territory or disgruntlement with the fact that there was a drought in the bowl.:rofl::rofl:
 
Finished the bird's toilet bowl...

I went back and finished the little bowl that the little birdy thought was crap... Not sure but maybe she was right..

I filled the work holes with coffee grounds and CA, the re-sanded to about 400 grit, then finished with beeswax and carnuba... it's a nice soft finish, but not sure I'm that satisfied with it.... LOML loved it, so I guess it passes and she does trump the bird.

Another bowl from same wood as the birdy bowl...

This is another piece of the same wood that I made the birdy toilet bowl from.. Pretty please with the way this one came out, except after I got it all done, I noted that I had left a little hump in the bottom... didn't get it as smooth a I wanted..
