B207 --- $125.00 --- this is the orientation view --- more pics down below

diameter: 7"
height: 2 3/4"

finish: 6 coats of satin-finish spar polyurethane (with UV blocker)

WOODS USED: [SEE DISCUSSION ON THE MAIN PAGE OF THIS SITE IF ANY OF THIS IS UNCLEAR]

base: canary with thick birch veneer directly above it (under the ipe and osage orange)

view 1: mystery wood #145, osage orange, hard maple, BOX

view 2: purpleheart, ipe, BOX

view 4: birch, osage orange, hard maple, BOX

view 5: purpleheart, ipe, BOX

view 6: birch, osage orange, hard maple, BOX

view 8: purpleheart, ipe, BOX

BOX: the yellow wood is yellowheart and the red wood is padauk

flaws/issues: The piece of purpleheart used in views 2, 5, and 8 had a weird black discoloration one surface and since I didn't sand it off, it shows up as a dark line on the inside edge in views 2 and 5.

The reddish discolorations in the oasage orange pieces are common in the species and is wood character, not flaws --- at least, that's my story and I'm sticking with it :-)

comments: Symmetrical around a line up throught the middle of the bowl

Well, that pinwheel in the BOX is such that you gotta either love it or hate it, I think, and I choose to love it. Interestingly, I find it much more attractive from a considerable distance than up close.
