flaws/issues: There is a small separation at the top of the rim where the shedua from view 5 meets the cocobolo from view 6. The bubinga in view 1 has expanded and now exhibits a distinct separation on the left edge where it meets the aromatic red cedar from view 8. This is a major flaw and is the reason for the low price.
comments: It's too bad about the separations because this is a very nice bowl with some excellent laminations, especially the BOX itself.
