flaws/issues: The glue line where the base joins the bowl was slightly sloppy in view 1 and you can see a less than perfect joint there, but it's minor. The afromosia of the base has a couple of thin cracks in view 2 where it joins the base --- also minor.
comments: The canary in view 3 is highly chatoyant. The inner Honduras rosewood piece in view 1 is from a small plank that had just an amazing figure
