A couple of days ago I came across a turner's website, and happened to notice he made and sold hollowing tools. They were black shanked tools, one straight boring bar and one swan neck, with a smoothly tapered tip. They held a cutting tip that is similar to a 1/4" machinists bit, but the part of the bit that went into the tool was round. The holding mechanism wasn't readily visible from the top of the tool, I think it was a set screw on the underside. I think they had 5/8" shafts, and I remember the site's description discussing how he had used these tools for years and finally he and his wife had acquired the tooling to produce tools for sale. I also remember the background of the site was predominantly black.
If anyone can identify this tool or website, I'd love to find it again. I thought I had bookmarked it but a browser crash may have closed the tab before I had it saved.
