flaws/issues: there is a poor glue joint for about 1/3rd of the way between the redheart and the poplar at the top of the BOX

comments: notice the difference between the curly maple in view 4, which is a flat cut surface, and that in view 6 which is a quartersawn surface with ray flakes.

The spalting of the red oak in view 4 (see view 3c below) is typical of oak spalting, which is unlike the more typical fine black lines that occur in most spalting in other woods.

views 3c and 5c --- note that in view 3c, the orangish wood at the top and slightly to the right appears to have a lot of "chatter" inside the rim. This is purely an artifact of image reduction and does not appear at all in the actual wood.
