flaws/issues: The joints inside the BOX are just slightly raised. You will see it if you look really closely and you can easily feel it with your fingers, although it is very slight. It does not detract from the beauty of the bowl at all but I've lowered the price a little because of it.
comments: The Honduras rosewood in view 1 is particularly nice and the grain lined up perfectly for the way it was cut (this was not, of course, entirely accidental). The 3 woods in the box seem to me to be a particularly rich combination
