BOX: from the bottom up --- padauk, yellowheart, wenge, yellowheart, purpleheart, basswood, padauk, basswood, bubinga

flaws/issues: The afrormosia in view 5 has a very small gum pocket that shows up as a black spot that is rough to the touch --- it is right where the inner rim meets the bowl bottom and you can see it clearly in view 1c below. The aromatic red cedar has a couple of knots that give the wood character (and are in fact why I chose the piece) but these do cause apparent surface blemishes of the kind that distinguish wood from plastic.

comments: A couple of excellent spalted pieces and generally good woods throughout. The inner rim is flat, as is the bowl bottom, thus this one was harder to turn than most but worth the effort. The purpleheart in the BOX is a particularly nice piece (very bright purple)
