flaws/issues: the oak in view 4 had a massive gum inclusion which I decided to fix with a dowel plug. It looks awful, I'm sorry to say. I should have just left the gum inclusion, which at least had the advantage of looking natural. The center has a dark circle that is sloppy final-turning on my part.
comments: the woods in this one are above average. In fact, all of the woods around the rim are really nice as is the yellowheart in view 5
The rim is thicker than usual on this one because I really liked the omega curve in the view 5 walnut (as seen from view 1a) so stopped under-turning the rim sooner than I otherwise would have done.
Because of the ugly plug, I've priced this one quite a bit lower than it would be without that flaw.
