flaws/issues: There is a thin but visible separation at the glue line of the chechem in view 4 and the omega curves on its inside is ragged and has tiny chipouts that are also visible.
There is a very small dent in the middle of the bowl. I don't know what that happeded, but it is noticible.
Because of these flaws, I've priced this one quite low.
comments: The woods in the outer rim of view 5 are really excellent high-grain pieces, and the rest of the woods around the outer rim are all very nice.
