view 8: aromatic red cedar

BOX: top and bottom are either Honduras rosewood or dark cocobolo, middle is bocote, left is redheart, right is osage orange

flaws/issues: The redheart at the left of the BOX has a hairline crack due to stress in the bowl woods.

comments: The aromatic red cedar in view 1 was chosen for the large solid knot, which adds a nice swirl to the grain pattern. The bocote in the middle of the BOX has a particularly interesting grain and was chosen for that reason --- contrast it with the piece in view 3 which is "normal" bocote. The padauk in view 7 has the striking grain pattern that you get sometimes with padauk when it is cut just right. The oak in view 3 shows strong ray flakes.

In general, the woods in this one are excellent.
