comments: VERY pleasant curve shape on this bowl and excellent wood throughout, especially in the box but also the chechem in view 5 and the chatoyant mahogany in views 3 and 7. The grain arrangement of the elm in view 1 came out amazingly well, even to the point of having an internal omega curve as you can see in the first pic below.
