Hello, I'm interested in obtaining a couple of new bowl gouges and grinding them to Stuart's 40/40 grind. I have a couple of questions: First, for those who have mastered doing this grind free-hand, and have also tried Ron Brown's jig, do you think that Ron's jig faithfully reproduces the grind? Second, which gouge to buy? I believe Stuart recommends a parabolic or V-shaped flute, with a preference for the parabolic flute... Has anyone done this grind on either a Thompson or Carter and Son V-shaped flute, and were you happy with the result? Thanks for the advice!!
