Have just finished the second cutter a 14mm square now need to make the handles.

For those that I am using from Glenn Teagle you only need to lap them on a fine diamond card. There is a good vid on YouTube showing this being done.

That's why I am asking as I have not done hollowing at all apart from a standard bowl. I don't know the pros and cons of either. So any guidance is great as these are not cheap to buy.

I want to make a potpourri and as I have no hollowing tool. As some seem expensive I am looking for advice on which one to purchase or make. This will be my first attempt at hollowing other than a straight bowl.

Let me know if you want measurements?
