BOX: bottom is cowtree, left side is bubinga, right side is cowtree. From the bottom: cocobolo, zircote, bubinga, bocote, chechem with something (?) to the right on a slant, then more cocobolo then sassafras next to the padauk of view 5.

flaws/issues: The chechem knothole has a slight indentation which I absolutely do not consider a flaw, but character, but I point it out in case you differ. The padauk in view 5 has a slight stress separation from the BOX as you can see in view 3c below --- it has widened just a hair since the pic was taken but I believe it is now stable and will not widen any further.

comments: excellent curves around the outside of the rim.

The chechem in view 1 is a marvelous piece, selected because of the knothole that gives it a lot of character and grain.
