I'm going to try out hollowing (using some Trent Bosch tools/rest) and have a couple of questions. Sorry for my ignorance, but we all were new at some point.
1. If you turn the type of vessel that seems to have a relatively small opening with kind of a live edge to it, after it dies and you've finished it, how do you go about removing the chuck tenon? With a bowl you can always use compression from the tail stock to hold it against a smaller turned piece in your chuck, turn down the tenon to a nub, then chisel/saw off the nub. But with the type of vessel I described, I have a hard time envisioning you compressing that small, uneven diameter of the opening to anything.
2. This could apply to a lot of turned objects, but if you're turning green wood to a thin finished state (1/8 to 1/4 inch) and you're planing to let it dry and likely warp to some degree, do most turners do a fair amount of sanding while it's still wet, or is it best to just wait until it's dry to do it all.
Thanks,
Grey
