flaws/issues: The bocote in view 2 has a good-sized and quite deep worm hole that shows up at the top of the inner rim (visible in the upper right of view 7c below). This is either wood character or a flaw, take your pick.

comments: Gorgeous ovals on the outer rim (see views 5b and 8b below) and the bocote in view 2 is spectacular, as I knew it would be from the way it looked raw (although I did not know that the large wormhole would be there, in hindsight, I would have used the piece anyway and I have not reduced the price of the bowl due to the wormhole)
