comments: I like the boldly contrasting woods in the middle of this one. Also, this is the first bowl where I have used yellowheart as a base --- it looks very good so I'll use it on more in the future. I have to say, I don't really like the way the redheart/veneer section at the top middle is at an awkward angle. I wish I had done it more symmetrically.

flaws/issues: in the right-middle, the Billy Webb wood wedge has an edge chip-out at the glue joint with the cocobolo that is small but can be both seen and felt. The redheart at the lower left has faded to orangish brown. Some of the other woods are less vibrant now than when the pics were taken, years ago.

The mottled sapele at the top has an obvious gum inclusion as you can see in the pics. There are some very minor separation lines in the middle that you can see if you catch the light just right. One of these is pretty noticeable so I've dropped the price because of it from $125 to $95 (I REALLY hate these separations)
