N7 --- $SOLD --- this is the orientation view --- more pics down below
diameter: 6"
height: 5"
finish: one application of natural stain then three coats of high gloss spar polyurethane (with UV blocker)
WOODS USED: [SEE DISCUSSION ON THE MAIN PAGE OF THIS SITE IF ANY OF THIS IS UNCLEAR]
base: aromatic red cedar topped by red oak topped by Honduras mahogany
center: redwood
view 1: cocobolo, osage orange, lamination of bocote and maple veneer, zebra
view 3: padauk, cocobolo/bocote, 3 kinds of mahogany, maple veneer, bubinga
view 5: padauk, goncalo alves, bocote (mostly sap), cocobolo
view 7: misc little pieces across the top, then zebrawood, bubinga, canary
flaws/issues: not a flaw, but an issue to be aware of is that the osage orange in view has darkened somewhat with age, despite the UV blocker in the polyurethane finish. It did retain its chatoyancy
comments: The cocobolo at the bottom of view 5 is rather blotchy but overall the woods in this one is excellent and I think the total result is just amazingly pleasing. The zebrawood in view 7 is a particular standout and the bubinga below it is marvelously chatoyant
