MIL buys me a couple of EasyWood hollowing tools for xmas.
What a gal!
I've got a few wet cherry logs that could produce some 6" heartwood bowls.
I figure they could be decent size & quality for working on my hollowing technique.
Do I rough them out just like "regular" bowls?
IOW, approximate the final shape, leave them fat & straighten it all out in 6-12 when they dry out?
I'm not all that into complicated. I don't mind waiting. I don't plan to resort to chemicals or microwaves.
Just wondering about the shape I should work toward in the roughing out phase.
thanks in advance
