BOX: two lower corner slants are curly maple, upper slants are partridgewood (the one on the left doesn't LOOK like partridgewood, but it is). From the left, the middle has bocote, redheart and ? over osage orange, thick walnut veneer, osage orange over cocobolo, tulipwood, redheart, and ?, then another piece of thick walnut veneer, then cocobolo, ebony veneer, tulipwood over osage orange, then bocote

flaws/issues: The olive in view 2 has a crack on the lower left side --- I saw the crack but used the piece anyway since it has excellent grain. The left side lower slant of maple in the BOX has a couple of very small voids.
