comments: The tatajuba in view 3 is highly chatoyant. The ovals around the outer rim seem to me to be particularly attractive on this bowl.

flaws/issues: The walnut in view 3 has some edge chip-out on the inside of one edge.

The walnut base segment in view 7 has a knot that is not solid, but that's really wood character, not a flaw.

Several of the woods have faded or darkened over time so the price has been reduced from $190 to $110





views 1a and 3a. The mahogany in view 3a has darkened to a chocolate brown


views 5a and 7a. The redheart in view 5a has faded to a reddish brown and the two horizontal yew pieces over the top of the English brown oak in view 7a have both faded to a much darker orange-brown
