flaws/issues: There is a very small match slippage in the box that is most noticeable where the holly veneer pices come together at an angle and just miss each other. This happens sometimes when the exact match that was visible when I glued the halves together starts to vary below the surface and as the surface is turned off the match becomes imperfect.

comments: The woods in this bowl are just fantastic (see the closeups below)
