BOX: bottom middle is cocobolo sided by tatajuba sided by ipe. Above that is sapele sided by redheart. Above the sapele is partridgewood(?) then osage orange. Upper slants are pine.

flaws/issues: In view 1, underneath, there is a layer of birch veneer that is only partically turned off under the padauk. The lower piece of birch in view 7 has some small tear-outs on the right side. This started off as a major edge-chip flaw but I turned further until only a small blemish remained.

There is a hairline separation up the middle of the BOX but it is barely visible.

comments: The olive in view 1 has some nice dark streaking and the tulip poplar in view has an unusually dark green color due to mineral staining (and was chosen for that reason).
