flaws/issues: The osage orange in view has developed a noticible crack running horizontally from the middle of the left side to the middle of the slab. Because of this I have reduced the price from $125 to $50.

comments: The zebrawood in view 1 has a grain-pattern omega curve inside the rim and a nice set of concentric ovals outside the rim (see pics below)

The osage orange in view 1 looks better than it shows up here.

NOTE: The osage orange in view 1, although beautiful, has developed a crck that has caused me to reduce the price of the bowl from $125 to $50. The crack runs from the middle of one side into the middle of the piece. It is shown in a pic down below.

This is an unusual layout with 4 largish chunks around the rim with wedges between them, and I'm somewhat conflicted about the look this produces. I'm not crazy about the right angles it produces but I do like how the large chunks of very nice wood look (particularly the osage orange). .

The Honduras mahogany in view 3 is lightly curly and also lightly chatoyant
