COMMENTS: The sycamore at the bottom and the sycamore on the left hardly look like the same wood, but they are.

I ALWAYS POINT OUT ANYTHING THAT NEEDS TO BE COMMENTED ON. THESE ARE (UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED) THINGS THAT DO NOT DETRACT FROM THE BEAUTY OF THE BOWL, BUT I WANT TO BE SURE I GIVE A COMPLETE DESCRIPTION. SO ... The sapodilla in the upper right had a beautiful "medium-rare-steak" look (brown on the outsides, pink in the middle) that you can see in the upper right corner of the view 1c pic below, but the inner pink has darkened to brown since the pic was taken. On the right side of the pine at the bottom, there is a dark streak (probably from a minor gum inclusion) which you can see clearly. I would prefer that it not be there even though it is minor. Also just to the right of that there is a very small void in the thick walnut veneer that you can only see if you catch the light just right. There has been some minor color fading/darkening since these pics were taken some years ago but nothing major and the video (done more recently) shows the colors exactly as they are now.

There is a stress separation at the maple veneer in the upper right. It is noticeable visually and can be felt easily with a finger. Because of it, I have reduced the price from $145 to $95.

VARIOUS VIEWS:








the bowl blank, then raw (fresh off the lathe), then with an application of natural stain, then as the finished bowl
