B156 --- $125.00

diameter: 9 1/2"

finish: one application of natural stain then 4 coats of high gloss spar polyurethane (with UV blocker)

comments: Very nice design on this one and generally excellent wood throughout. The curly mahogany in view 7 looks better on the bottom side than on the top side, as you can see in view 7b below. The dark cocobolo in view 4 is so dark on the top side that it looks like ebony but on the bottom you can see a red shade.

I ALWAYS POINT OUT ANYTHING THAT NEEDS TO BE COMMENTED ON. THESE ARE (UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED) THINGS THAT DO NOT DETRACT FROM THE BEAUTY OF THE BOWL, BUT I WANT TO BE SURE I GIVE A COMPLETE DESCRIPTION. SO ... The redheart in view 7 has a wormhole on the bottom, of the type that fills back up with what seems to be soft powdery wood. The dark cocobolo in view 8 has a poor glue joint on the bottom of the bowl; it isn't particularly noticeable visually but you can feel it when you run your finger over the joint on either the top or the bottom of the bowl.

LATER: the osage orange pieces have darkened noticeably and a few of the other woods are just slightly less vibrant than when these pics were taken many years ago but basically it's still what you see is what you get.
