flaws/issues: in the right-middle right of the BOX, the billy webb wood wedge has an edge chipout at the glue joint with the cocobolo that is small but can be both seen and felt.

The mottled sapele in view 5 has an obvious gum inclusion as you can see in the pics.

comments: 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.
