comments: the chechem in view 5 is a real standout, nicely chatoyant and with wiht variagated grain and color patterns. The wenge in view 1 has an interesting section, near the sipo in the BOX, that is orange and tan instead of wenge's normal black and brown. I sometimes see this in freshly cut wenge, but not often.

Nice light bowl with graceful curves and a good selection of woods.
