flaws/issues: the redheart in the center of the box has a bad internal crack that didn't show up until I turned down to that part of the wood. Unfortunate, but wood is like that sometimes.
comments: This one is a little on the "busy" side, with several complex laminations around the rim. The lamination in view 7 turned out particularly well
