flaws/issues: the inner piece of canary in view 8 has a wormhold in the bottom. There is a very slight irregularity in the surface right at the center of the bowl, where I did not quite fully sand down the surface, and there is another very slight surface irregularity at the yellowheart in view 5 directly above the BOX, where the surface did not turn down quite as much as the surrounding wood (this one you can't see but you can feel it)

comments: the cumaru in view 1 is a particularly nice piece
