[QUOTE="Kyle Weiss, post: 184009, member: 1969"] Tapered bowls can make for funky smoking...I have a Nording with a very "V" shaped bowl, and it gets a little hot toward the bottom as the ash starts to compete for air space and all that... I'd shoot for a more evenly-chambered bowl, if you ask me. Granted, all of my carvers have been kits and pre-drilled in that regard. "Freehand" definitions vary according to some carvers, I've learned, and provided you're using hand tools, and finishing and shaping by hand, you should be fine as far as its "purity." :lol: I think so long as you are doing the work and the tool is just rotating, you're "freehand." What are you using to drill the chamber? What do you plan to use to drill the air hole and mortise? [/QUOTE]
