flaws/issues: The imbuia in view 2 was chosen because of the dark area that runs through it so I consider the gum inclusion inside the rim to be wood character, not a flaw, but I realize not everyone may agree with me, so I point it out just so there will be no surprises. See closeup below.

comments: The chechem in view 5 is highly chatoyant. The fir in view 8 has a very high ring count.
