Hi there
Almost finished my deep hollowing rig so I tried a piece. Just couldn't wait.
I turned a vase just over 10 inches deep and about 5/16 thick thats about as I planned for my first.
I have 2 questions 1. On green end grain hollowing should I turn to finished shape and thickness and be done or do I turn it like a green bowl and twice turn it? 2. How can I best prevent the bottom from cracking because the pith is still there?
Thanks
