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: mahogany topped by birch veneer

view 1: redwood, wenge, box

view 3: pine, bubinga, unknown, box

view 5: black limba, box

BOX from the bottom up: bubinga, cypress, padauk, bubinga, osage orange, wenge, osage orange (might be canary), purpleheart, quartersawn poplar with small, but nice, ray flakes, wenge

flaws/issues: the wenge at the left top of the box has a gum inclusion that, if you catch the ligth just right, looks exactly as though a small multi-legged insect had died on the surface.

comments: Excellent woods throughout this one with an especially nice chunk of redwood in view 1 and excellent contrasting woods in the BOX.

HMMMM ... I see that once again, I got carried away and made a totally symmetrical bowl (mirrored on a line up through the middle of the BOX). I normally do SOMETHING to break symmetry but didn't on this one.
