The lamination on the right is, from the bottom up; cabreuva, iroko, curly maple, 3 pieces of Honduras rosewood (pretty much looks like a single piece), mahogany, Honduras rosewood.

flaws/issues: none

comments: The bocote/lamination in view 1 is a real standout and the high-ring-count fir in view 1 has a particularly attractive swirly grain due to some small branches entering the wood at that point (a couple of these show up as dark spots).

The chechem in view 8 is highly chatoyant and the yellowheart in view 5 is nicely chatoyant as are several other woods in this one.
