flaws/issues: The purpleheart in view 2 has a crack. When I first saw this as I was turning the bowl, I thought I had slipped the gouge and scratched the wood, but it soon became apparent that it's a crack in the wood. Fortunately, it doesn't go throught to the surface on the outside of the bowl.

comments: Very few of my bowls have what I think of as the "classical bowl shape" or "standard bowl shape", but this one does.
