flaws/issues: The redheart in view 7 has a wormhole on the bottom, of the type that fills back up with what seems to be soft powdery wood. The dark cocobol in view 8 has a poor glue joint on the bottom of the bowl; it isn't particularly noticible visually but you can feel it when you run your finger over the joint. The joint on the top of the bowl is OK.

comments: Very nice design on this one and generally excellent wood throughout. The curly mahogany in view 7 looks better on the bottom side than on the top side, as you can see in view 7b below. The dark cocobolo in view 4 is so dark on the top side that it looks like ebony but on the bottom you can see a red shade.
