hey guys,
I ordered Trent Bosch’s 3/4 hollowing bars because I wanted to do few deeper hollow forms, done one 10” and one I believe 11”. They are great for deep hollowing, but I found the bars to bee too thick for smaller openings.
Now I’m debating getting smaller size and torn between the 1/2 and 5/8th and if I should try other hollowing tool shapes, for example hope’s or Ellsworth. I know hunter makes great ones too but they tend to be more expensive and not sure if the extra cost comes with an advantage.
One of the challenges I found was hollowing around the neck of the vessel. Oh and I did go through the bottom of couple of them this one is 4” wide, not sure of the height off hand, under 3 I believe.
