flaws/issues: The kuruguay in view one has a crack on the bottom. I don't believe this is a stress fracture, but rather a drying flaw. It did not show up until the surface was turned down into the piece of wood and I would not have used the piece has I known of the crack.

The wamara in view 6 has a worm-hole spot on the bottom (the kind that fills back up with powerdery wood of a lighter color).

comments: Really nice curvature of the inside --- sort of makes the top portion of the bowl look like the top of an inactive volcano. The redheart in view 8 has a nice variety of red shades and the wamara in view 6 is a very rich shade of brown.
