BOX: bottom is bubinga, top is sipo; upper left and upper right are both cherry and lower left and lower right are both black ash.
flaws/issues: the black ash in view 4 has small internal cracks that are visible but do not detract from the bowl.
comments: the shape on this one is what I call the "wok" because it looks just like one of those Chineese cooking pans; the inside is one continuous smooth curve. The outside gets thicker as it approaches the base.
The bottom of the wenge in view 5 has a really neat grain pattern. The bubinga in view 1 of the BOX has ray flakes and is nicely chatoyant
