Mark Mandell - Gone Round In Jersey
>Have started down Hollowform Road, but am seeing that deformation of the piece when turned from green wood (s.o.p. 'round here) is going to be a heavy issue.
What and/or how do you Experienced Ones do to either keep the piece round or end up with a round form? Endgrain (with/without pith, pith drilled out and plugged)? Face grain? If you double-cut, how do you remount the piece (jam-chuck, vac, waste block, heavy foot-block) when dry, and how thick do you leave the walls (10% of the diameter like bowls) during the "rough-cut phase??
So little time, so much wood.
