B151 --- $125.00 --- this is the orientation view --- more pics down below

diameter: 9 1/2"
height: 2 1/2"
shipping weight: 2lb 12oz (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: The olive at the bottom has some nice dark streaking and the tulip poplar in the upper right has an unusually dark green color due to mineral staining (and was chosen for that reason).

flaws/issues: At the bottom, underneath, there is a layer of birch veneer that is only partially turned off under the padauk. The lower piece of birch at the left side 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 bowl but it is barely visible.

LATER: the osage orange pieces at the bottom and lower left and the one in the middle have all darkened to a golden tan but otherwise what you see is what you get.
