flaws/issues: The mahogany in view 7 has a couple of wormholes but this is wood character, not really a flaw. I knew the mahogany was wormy when I decided to use it.

comments: a particularly nice set of woods in the BOX on this one and the sipo in view 1 is marvelously chatoyant and several other woods are at least lightly chatoyant
