Thanks ptc.
I must say that I prefer the interactive side of the hobby. For instance, I am always turning my lathe off so I can see what the finished product will look like. No point in turning it to some shape and ending up having turned off all of the feature/character of the piece...
You are absolutely right about everyone being a winner in that process!

But it certainly isn't cyclone proof
(ask Cliff for an explanation as it references one of my previous bowls).

Wood talking ... nice way of putting it. I can certainly relate to that.
I like to start by drawing the blank cross-section on graph paper in ink, full or half size, and then with pencil play with the shapes it might take. Settle on one, rub out the others, and use the main points for measurements to rough out the blank.
That said, sometimes a cut or two will suggest something more interesting and I'll go with the flow.Cheers, Ern

Thanks, but it was RufflyRustic that started it with a thread on a sawtill/dresser.

Mind you, with less figured wood I can understand that approach, but then you have to be good enough to follow the plan too.
