In the middle of sanding I found a little spot I missed in the rim. So I sanded a little more and a little more, and the spot got longer and longer.
I think I will like this one better without a raised rim. :rolleyes:

Most turners would just turn off the rim if they wanted to change the desing, but I guess sanding it off works too :eek:;)
I think it will look just as good without the raised rim.

Yes. Absolutely. The raised rim has to go. Good call even though you went about it the hard way.

What grit is that new gouge you have there Brian? :D It is still a nice piece....let us know when you "finish turning it!" :p
Sorry.......I do feel your pain! :) All in good fun! ;)

…and the rim was no longer.
I actually like it better this way!

This is actually one of my favorite pieces of wood. Not just cocobolo in general, but this particular piece.
I bought 2 pieces of Cocobolo from the same lot many years ago at Reel Lumber in Riverside. Since then they have become a Krenov-style rectangular block plane, an experimental infill smoother made from an old Stanley #3, an infill made with the coaching of Ron Brese, and two turned bowls.

Those all look great! I can see why you like that wood and the bowl turned out very nice!

Nice piece now after you tried to make it bigger inside than outside ;), and yes a very nice piece of wood you made it from, I'd say it's a keeper :)

The lines are much cleaner now with the 'design opportunity'. very nice bowl and like the planes too!

Full agreement that you are better off without the rim. Some design opportunities are harder to come by than others.
Very nice bowl in the end.
