COMMENTS: A very attractive bowl if I do say so myself, with many excellent woods and good contrast and a fairly symmetrical design. Very hefty because this particular shape retains a lot of wood.

I ALWAYS POINT OUT ANYTHING THAT NEEDS TO BE COMMENTED ON. THESE ARE (UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED) THINGS THAT DO NOT DETRACT FROM THE BEAUTY OF THE BOWL, BUT I WANT TO BE SURE I GIVE A COMPLETE DESCRIPTION. SO ... Some of the woods have faded or darkened, in particular the the osage orange pieces have darkened to nearly brown and the bloodwood pieces have faded since these pics were taken. Still, it's a very attractive bowl and the video (taken recently) shows the correct colors The osage orange in at the upper left exhibits a thin line on the bottom of the bowl (this is a drying crack in the wood, not a stress-induced crack). There are some very minor stress-induced level shifts which can be felt with the fingers (barely) but which are not visible.

The dark cocobolo/osage orange joints at the lower left and the lower right both have very noticeable separations. It was a tough decision whether to put this bowl in the barbque fire pit or just lower the price. Since it IS a very attractive bowl, I've cut the price from $125 to $65.
