Started hollowing out an elm log to make a vase. This piece of wood is sopping wet. Using carbide tools, the inter-twined grain is giving me fits. Instead of a nice cut, I'm doing more tearing. I seem to be having trouble, especially around the curves. I'm using a hollowing system that has always done a fair job for me on dry, or even moderately wet wood, but this is different in that the grain is so twisted and wet. What can I do to help with this, or is there a better way or a different type of cutter I should use? What about something like a Oneway termite or Crown beaver? Would those type of cutters be a better option?
