flaws/issues: none

comments: The partridgewood base has some particularly nice grain patterns, as does the piece in view 6 (and note how much lighter-colored the base pieces are than the one in view 6. I believe these are actually two different, but closely related, species, both of which are sold as partridgewood.

The ambrosia maple in view 4 started off with a bug track visible but it turned off except for a thin brown line on the inside near the piece of redheart.

The canary in view 6, the mahogany in view 4, and the Honduras rosewood in view 4 are all lightly chatoyant
