Hollowing a cross-grain pot
I have a question and think I already know the answer and that's $$$
I took a section of green log and decided to turn it so the heart was in middle of the sides of the pot. Most of the hollowing was done with a scraper. Now the issue I had is that a couple of times the scraper caught and dug in and then bounced off the sides. One third of the tool including handle was past the rest. Am I correct in assuming that if the tool had a longer handle, and it had caught I would have had more ability to stabilise it and hence reduced the chances of it digging in and bouncing off the walls. Or could there be another reason before I go and buy / or make a longer tool for the job -- John |
