The brief on this was pretty straightforward. Design a fountain for the Entry Garden that a) matches the aesthetic, b) isn’t a nightmare to maintain, and c) provides a source of water to birds and pollinators. Oh, and it would be nice if small rodents couldn’t fall in and drown.
I've always wanted a burbling garden fountain. After reading your efforts with yours, I suspect I'm too slapdash to carry the project off. As soon as I see your red strings, I know I'm not in your league. Sanding, sealing, and balancing would have me kicking the bowl into next week. Regular old birdbaths it will remain in these parts but I do appreciate your efforts (and writing), Chris.

It looks beautiful and I look forward to updates! I would love to see video of the fountain in action.
