BOX: starting at the top: outer wedges are hard maple, then in the middle is canary sided by mahogany sided by bloodwood, all over wenge over canary over padauk over cowtree, over hard maple (at the sides pointing outward) over padauk over walnut wedges in the lower corner.

flaws/issues: The BOX had a noticible stress separation of the walnut in the lower right corner from the padauk and minor separations of the middle right side of the box from the walnut of view 3 and of the lower left walnut from the padauk of view 1. I returned and refinished the bowl and now the stress separations are gone, BUT the glue-line at those joints is larger than normal and the glue is slightly raised, resulting in a "ridge-line" of glue that can be both seen and felt.

comments: Outstanding pattern and woods on this one. If it were not for the remaining glue-ridge-lines at what used to be the stress separations, I'd price it higher.
