Something Old and Something New
When I graduated to my Stubby 1000 from the JET 12-36 I naturally got into large bowl work. Of course, I soon found out that one runs out of space to display such stuff in fairly short order.
I turned this 22" salad bowl in Ambrosia maple 
While the bowl was turned to about 1/4" the rim was left fat
The finished piece has sat around for years, and while people were impressed with the size and color, I was bothered by its big flat rim as it made the bowl look very heavy. I recently redid the vacuum system for my lathe and decided to violate the "never return" rule. I put the bowl back on the lathe, cranked up the vac to 28", and returned the rim so that the outside edge is still sharp but now the rim is rolled into the inside surface. 
What a huge difference in the feel of the bowl! The whole thing was lightened up visually and the rim has a lovely "feel" and works with my personal bowl design preference. SWMBO has approved the "new" bowl for use and display.
On the new front, I found this jar hiding in one of my few remaining Red Maple log sections.
10x5 with my usual lacquer/wax finish.
I'm gonna be disappointed when my Red Maple stash is gone. Have to look for more.
Comment welcome
