view 6: mahogany, hard maple veneer, prima vera, thick mahogany veneer, BOX

view 7: mahogany, BOX

BOX: vertical pieces left to right are walnut, curly mahogany, wormy tzalam w/ nice black streaking, ? (probably prima vera), mahogany, walnut, ? (probably pine, could be fir or cypress). The upper left slant is yellowheart, the upper right slant is sassafrass set off by padauk veneer

flaws/issues: the tzalam in the box has worm holes, but I knew that and kept it because of the black streaking, which I like. The aromatic red cedar in view 2 has a gum inclusion. The oak on the bottom of view 3 has a crack that isn't particularly visible, but is obvious to the touch.

comments: The oak in view 1 has nice ray flakes and the redheart in view 1 is excellent as is the paela in view 4
