flaws/issues: In view 1, there is a hairline separation between the poplar and the aromatic red cedar; it does not stand out visually but is readily noticeable to the fingernail. There is a hairline crack running horizontally in the middle of the box that is even less noticeable, but because of the two cracks, I've kept the price quite low.
comments: Lots of excellent woods in this one, with the canary in view 1 a real standout, having multiple internal omega curves due to the striped colour variations.
