I know this is kind of a "Well, duh..." question, but I want to make sure I'm going about this right and I haven't found an answer so far. Every example I've seen for rough turning bowls, shows a generic bowl shape with the requisite 10% walls. But, what if you're planning on making a tall calabash, or a shallow bowl with an ogee bottom, etc.? My guess is that you rough turn a tall calabash shape with thick, even walls, or a rough shallow bowl, but do you include the ogee in the rough shape or just make sure there's enough material to do it later?
Are there any guidelines as to what to include in the rough shape and what to save for later?
