C133 --- $85.00 --- this is the orientation view --- more pics down below

diameter: 6 3/4"
height: 2 1/4"

finish: one application of natural stain then three coats of high gloss spar polyurethane (with UV blocker)

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

base: red oak

view 1: bocote, red oak, BOX

view 2: sen (looking into a quartersawn section), ebony veneer

view 3: padauk, red oak, ebony veneer, sycamore

view 5: machiche(?), BOX

view 7: padauk, red oak, ebony veneer, olive, BOX.

view 8: sen (looking into a quartersawn section), ebony veneer

BOX: pine, purpleheart, shedua, red oak and sycamore on the right

flaws/issues: There are some hairline stress separations around the BOX. The olive in view 7 has an internal crack (this is not a stress fracture and does not go through to the bottom of the bowl). That same piece of olive has a very slight movement on the rim that you can't SEE but that you can feel with your finger.

comments: I think the use of the ebony veneer worked very well to create make the outer ovals and inner omega curves stand out and to sharply delinate the red oak and sen.
