One Benefit of Sharp Tools

[Mark Mandell]

would, of course, be nice even slices. Hence, as you all work on the TURKEY Platter, remember that the tool of choice in not the skew, but the c-a-r-v-i-n-g knife, even if you did just sharpen it on your Tromek!

Lets us all drive safely and meet back here on Friday

So, for the stuffing should you use a deep-fluted bowl gouge?

I think for this thread we should use the "parting" tool...



Happy Thanksgiving guys...

Actually I prefer a "spoon gouge"

Mark What grind do you use on the spoon gouge. I find I can shovel faster with an Irish grind.

happy turkey day. Got a chuckle out of yhis thread.

Dont forget, if you eat too much, you may find that the handle on the plate scraper is now too short

That would be crook-neck grind with full reverse bevel in order to get that nice clean surface on the bottom of the stuffing bowl.
