B142 --- $75.00

diameter: 8 1/2"
height: 2 1/2"
shipping weight: 2lb 2oz (when asking about shipping costs, please don't forget to give me your zip code)

finish: one application of natural stain then 2 coats of high gloss spar polyurethane (with UV blocker)

comments: Very nice curvature to the rim on this one and I turned it so that the rim starts out thick but is quite thin at the top, which I think works well.

flaws/issues: the ash in the upper left has a nasty chip-out at the left edge (next to the oak at the top). I sanded it down to remove the jaggedness, but it's quite apparent, as you can see from the pics.

There is a vertical hairline separation between the 3rd and 4th lamination segments in the middle. You won't even feel it with your finger, but you will with your fingernail, and it is visible as well.

LATER: the redheart pieces in this bowl have faded to light tan but the bowl is still basically what you see is what you get. BUT ... there is a stress separation between the canary and the granadillo at the top that you don't see but that you certainly can feel. This one is minor but still, I hate those separations, so I have dropped the price to $75.
