N99 --- $110.00 --- this is the orientation view --- more pics down below
diameter: 9 1/2"
height: 3"
finish: Originally finished with one application of natural stain then 4 coats of high gloss spar polyurethane (with UV blocker), this bowl had such a poor finish that I stripped it, lightly returned it, and then applied 10 thin coats of satin-finish spar polyurethane (with UV blocker) and it now looks just fine.

flaws/issues: the osage orange in view has a crack that shows as a dark streak (it does not FEEL like a crack).
comments: The canary in view 5 is nicely chatoyant --- fairly rare for canary. The cowtree in view 8 is also chatoyant. The cocobolo in view 7 is a beautiful deep red with black grain lines; extremely dark for the species.
