I've been doing a little blind hollowing of dry endgrain through a small opening, and I have a tool tip.

For years, I've been using the typical "straight" tool with the Oland scraper bit.  It works fine, but I got to wondering if there might now be an alternate approach with some of my "other" tools, namely Hunter cup cutters, particularly for the dry wood I'm using.  So I pushed my Hunter Osprey in (flat and level and on center) at a slight horizontal angle to work off the center hole.  Bingo.  It works great. Nice shavings and no drama.  Works in both directions.  I like it.  YMMV.
