flaws/issues: The Honduras rosewood in view 7 has a slight cross-grain tearout in the sapwood on the side next to view 5.
comments: The construction technique on this one is different than most of my bowls in that the vertical section in the center (with all the woods running horizontally in the orientation view) was done up first and then the sides were added to that, allowing room for large chunks (Honduras mahogany in view 3 and Honduras rosewood in view 7) that I think look really good.
The bocote in view 7 is quite nice and the curly maple in view 3 has a particularly strong curl.
