Dumb question ~ hollowing end grain with bowl gouge ?

[PhillH]

So, is it acceptable to take out end grain with a bowl gouge?

Mainly for roughing out the middle, but wondering as most times I see spindle gouges being used. Mine don't seem to work that we'll and I want to go a bit deeper than the Hope hollowing tool will go.

Thoughts on using the 3/8" bowl gouge to rough it out?

The bowl gouge dont work to well on deep end grain there are several ways to do this a large scrapper will do it or you could make a long carbide tip tool also there are special depth of cut controlled ring tools

I agree with Woody on this one. I made up a set of carbide tipped tool using the Easywood tips and they are superb on end grain.

And don't forget Dan sells Crown tools at a good discount to forum members, so if you opt for the Crown hollowing tool ask him first
