C152 --- $95.00

diameter: 9"
height: 2 1/4"
shipping weight: 2lb 14oz (when asking about shipping costs, please don't forget to give me your zip code)

finish: one application of natural stain then 2 coats of high gloss spar polyurethane (with UV blocker)

comments: The entire inside of the bowl is one continuous curve, rather than (as is sometimes the case on this style bowl) having the inner portion flat and just the inner part of the rim curved. Some very nice bocote in this one and the mottle sapele on the left side is wonderfully chatoyant.

flaws/issues: There is a slight, short, separation along the left side of the bocote to the left of the middle that is both visible and obvious to the fingernail. There is an even smaller, shorter (about 1/4"), separation along the left edge of the redheart on the right side. Both of these are on the top of the bowl and do not go through to the bottom.

There is a significant stress separation in the lower left that is quite a apparent to the touch but has no impact on how the bowl looks. Nonetheless, I have reduced the price from $150 to $95 because I don't like selling bowls with even minor separations. Also there has been some darkening and of some of the woods since the pics were taken many years ago. In particular the osage orange pieces have turned brown and the purpleheart and bocote piece have all darkened.
