flaws/issues: This bowl had to be reworked (re-turned and then re-finished) due to separation flaws but it is OK, now except for a slight difference in level between the bocote in view 1 and the prima vera next to it, a very slight separation that cannot be seen but that can be felt. There is also a slight rise in the glue line between two of the osage orange pieces in the BOX --- this also cannot be seen but can be felt.

comments: very pleasant smooth upslope to the inner sides on this one contrasts nicely with the vertical outer rim. I have only done a couple of this shape so far but I like it and plan to do more.

The zircote in view 6 is especially nice, as you can see in view 7b below, and also in the bowl blank.
