comments: This is a fairly "busy" bowl but with excellent woods throughout and I think it works well. The zebrawood on the left is very nice, the tulip poplar in the lower left has a wonderfully uniform green color (caused by mineral staining that rarely is this uniform), the ebony veneer at the top and top left works very nicely, the canary in the upper left is terrific (more visible under the rim than on top, the macawood at the bottom is chatoyant, and the bocote in the middle is very vibrant. The canary in the lower right has a beautiful red bug track under the rim.

The paela at the right has dark orange patina on the face towards the middle of the bowl and lighter orange from there outward. It is lightly chatoyant at the top of the rim.

I ALWAYS POINT OUT ANYTHING THAT NEEDS TO BE COMMENTED ON. THESE ARE (UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED) THINGS THAT DO NOT DETRACT FROM THE BEAUTY OF THE BOWL, BUT I WANT TO BE SURE I GIVE A COMPLETE DESCRIPTION. SO ... The imbuia on the right side has a void streak that I count as "character" now a flaw.

LATER: the osage orange in views 2 and 4 has darkened noticeably and a few of the other woods have darkened somewhat but the pics are new and shown the woods as they are now.
