BOX: up the middle is a lamination of ebony sided by maple veneer sided by aromatic red cedar. To the sides of that is wenge, and then there are more pieces of the same lamination and wenge. The upper slants are boxwood and the lower slants are holly.

flaws/issues: Not a flaw but just something to be aware of is that the bottom of this one has a wider spread of birch veneer than is usual, and it extends well past the BOX and hides the underside of some of the exotics.

comments: The bloodwood in view 4 has outstandingly deep blood red color, the bocote in view 5 is excellent, the padauk wedges in view 4 and 6 are a terrific orange color
