I am interested in picking up some tools to help me do some mild hollowing work. Nothing too dramatic, and I know if I get into it, I will likely want to look at full featured hollowing rigs. Right now I have some bowls that I roughed an outside curve that narrows slightly toward the rim, and I can't effectively/safely make the interior cuts with my bowl gouges or conventional scrapers.


I was looking at the John Jordan hollowing tools as some good arrows to add to my tool quiver. In terms of flexibility, should I start with the 1/2" or 3/4" versions? Is there something else I should be looking at?


Thanks for any advice. Cheers -
