Above the center is mahogany sided by paela over redheart. All of the above is sided by osage orange and topped on the upper corners by bocote.

flaws/issues: The wenge in view 2 has a slight chip on the bottom of the bowl which is very visible if you catch the light just right and is obvious to the touch. In view 3 there is a tiny ding in the outer birch right next to the lamination. You have to catch the light just right to see it and it's not obvious to the touch.

comments: The combination of omega curves in the inner rim where views 5 and 6 meet produces a very pleasing effect, with a nice little leaf-shaped section of maple in the upper/inner rim between the padauk and the english brown oak as you can see in view 2a below.

This one has a lot of heft to it.
