I was looking at some of William Hunter's work. Fantastic stuff. Are there any tutorials or videos on how one goes about shaping vessels post turning?
I understand that ultimately, just find something, even a dull butter knife, to remove material. I'm thinking more about if there are some basic techniques out there.
Yeah, I can put a flat slab of wood on a stump and call it a table, but there are techniques to get the most out of the properties of wood. Are there similar types of things when shaping wood?
I guess I am looking to try to understand form making and spending less time trying to invent a way to remove material. I would rather learn how to remove material and get on with the form making.
Maybe that is a bad approach?
