I would say you are in the "Fuzzy Edges" when you are no longer turning the
complete piece. Using a router, or sculpturing holes in certain areas and
things like that would fall into sculpturing.

But, given enough axis options, you can take off a little or a lot of
wood at very specific places, just as you would doing "normal"
carving. Check out some of Mark Sfirri's pieces in the picture
of the shelves full of "stuff" on this page.

Hell, take just about any piece on that page - all technically
"turned" - but they sure look like sculpture to me.

With a special Escoulen ball chuck you have an almost infinite
number of "centers" you can use to remove wood almost
anywhere you want to. Granted, it may take a lot of
head scratching and maybe a brain cramp to do it -
but once you go beyond single axis turning there are
plenty of options available

If you do integral "feet" on a bowl, and that requires some
work with some wood rasps and/or a grinder, is it still
a turning?

What about charring then wire brushing or sand blasting
the surface, or some of the surface, of the turned piece?

Hunter turns a piece, then bandsaws it up and places the
pieces together in a different way. Sculpture or turning.

Malcom Tibbet(t) turns two identical bowls, cuts each
into equal parts, flips parts and stick things back together
again to create mobius strip type pieces. Turning or
sculpture?
