I realize that a lot of folks turn green wood to a thickness twice what they expect the finish thickness to be. I get that, allowing the moisture to come down to less than 10% before doing the final turning. Questions I have are the following....
1. How do you plan for the final "look" of the bowl?
How do you know where the curves and angles will end up? Do you simply rough turn and then create from there on the final turn?
2. Hollow Forms
Is it the same process, rough turn to double the final thickness
3. Lidded Vessels; boxes
Same as above, turn to twice the thickness, base and lid, then turn final finish to fit and form
Any help would be appreciated
