comments: the macawood in view 1 is nicely chatoyant and the yew/wenge combination in view 4 looks terrific, as does the bloodwood/maple combination in view 6. There are fewer types of wood in this bowl than is typical for my bowls, but they are all great with the single exception of the bocote in view 8 which is not bad in any way, just not at all a standout for the species.
