flaws/issues: none

comments: "wok" style contour with thin edge getting thicker as it moves inward, smooth curve from the middle out to the edges. The padauk pieces in the BOX turned out particularly well in capturing that jagged grain that one can sometimes get from padauk.

I just love the delicate feel of this sytle. I can't turn regular rims this thin because of the likelihood that if I do there will be stress separations, but when just the outer edge is very thin it doesn't seem to ever cause such separations.
