Les, the wood as usual from you is stunning, as is your eye for detail with the form, if not well proportioned (3rds), it's well balanced and both beads complement each other and make the piece. I like it. Well done.
There is a large glass bowl here with the same type of bead foot, it has given me the idea to turn something like it, it's only to find a piece of timber to give the right proportions that I need, look as yours and time.
Cheers Dewi
