flaws/issues: the walnut wedge in view 5 has a really poor glue joint near the rim and the cypress in view 4 has a stress fracture. The padauk in view 1 as a stress fracture. This blank sat around for several years and did not employ my new-found anti-stress construction techniques so developed these stress problems, thus the low price.

comments: After the application of the single coat of regular poly, this bowl sat around for a couple of years and the woods darked with exposure to indirect sunlight.
