Jeff,

Somewhat similar tack here... did my first bowl several months ago, the next thing I wanted to do was push the boundary a bit and do a natural edge. Now that the NE mountain has been scaled, I wanted me next to be a hollow form... saw this thread, tool looked good on price, so I pulled the trigger. I'm not a slow progression kinda guy, I want to go to the bleeding edge of my ability (but hopefully not be bleeding when I get there).

BTW, love the Rush lyric sig
