At the upper and lower middle is gaboon ebony with redheart above the upper piece and below the lower piece. The upper left is gaboon ebony under paela.

flaws/issues: The sapele in view 6 has chipout where it comes up into the inside of the rim (see image below). The red maple in view 2 has a rough area inside the rim and right next to that it has a slight expansion away from the joining piece of bocote in view 1.

The cocoblol in view 8 that joins paela and also juts over into view 7, developed a slight stress spearation where it joins the lacewood in view 7 so I repaired it with extra glue and resanding so that now it just shows up as a glue line instead of a separation.

comments: Although this is quite a nice bowl with numerous attractive woods, it has several small flaws as listed directly above, so the price is low.
