BOX: top and bottom are osage orange. The lower portion is, from the bottom up: canary and then slanting off from that is padauk under maple veneer under mahogany veneer under walnut veneer under mahogany(?) under ?. Then above the canary in the lower middle is walnut under padauk under maple veneer under purpleheart under canary under paela sided by maple sided by bocote.

flaws/issues: There is a slight, short, separation along the left side of the bocote on the left of the box that is both visible and obvious to the fingernail. There is an even smaller, shorter (about 1/4"), separation along the left edge of the redheart in view 3. Both of these are on the top of the bowl and do not go through to the bottom.

comments: The entire inside of the bowl is one continuous curve, rather than (as is sometimes the case on this style bowl) having the inner portion flat and just the inner part of the rim curved.

Some very nice bocote in this one and the mottle sapele in view 8 is wonderfully chatoyant. The purpleheart in the box is slightly disappointing. The paela in view 3 exhibits the deeper coloring of surface patina at the inner face
