diameter: 8"
height: 2 1/4"
shipping weight: 2lb 0oz (when asking about shipping costs, please don't forget to give me your zip code)
finish: one application of natural stain then 8 coats of high gloss spar polyurethane (with UV blocker) topped with a coat of flat clear enamel to remove the shine.
COMMENTS: The ebony-rimmed ovals inside the rim in views 2 and 8 are really terrific and all of the woods in the rim are excellent. The middle of this one is busy and not especially attractive unfortunately but the entire rim, both inside and outside, is excellent. The price is as low as it is because I just don't like the middle that much (plus see the note below about a separation)

The yellowheart in the upper left has a tiny ding on the inside bottom and there is a stress separation near the top between the padauk and the purpleheart. The stress separation is shown enlarged in one of the images below.
