BOX: bottom is curly maple, top is redheart. Left side is, from the bottom up; bloodwood, Honduras rosewood, bocote, wenge, bocote, wenge, machiche(?). Right side is, from the bottom up; padauk, wenge, silky oak, wenge, yellowheart

flaws/issues: The stripy padauk in view 8 has a couple of cracks that are noticible but not especially so. They only show on the upper surface; too bad it wasn't only the lower surface.

The lower piece of wenge on the right side of the box has 3 noticible chipouts at the right edge as you can see in view 7c below

comments: The Honduras rosewood in view 6 is particularly nice (a crotch area). The bocote under the rim in view 5 is exceptionally dark --- looks more like wenge than bocote, but it definitely is bocote. The purpleheart in view 2 is an especially deep rich purple: contrast it with the purpleheart in view 6. I don't know if the piece in view 6 was baked but the one in view 2 definitely was and it was one of those pieces where baking it really deepens the purple.
