A cutting tool piece (10) is provided including a rear portion (12) and a lead portion (14), the lead portion including a front section (16) having an upper side (24) angled downwardly and forwardly and a lower side (26) angled upwardly and forwardly to form a transverse lead cutting edge (30). The rear portion includes a hole to secure the tool piece to a cutting tool and transverse cutting edges extending outwardly from side walls of the front section. A system is also described for cutting a bowl (100) by coring out an interior portion (108) of a wood block by applying the cutting tool which is curved and rotatably mounted to a post. Its lead end with the tool piece attached creates a circular groove. The cutting tool is advanced on a path which curves toward the central axis of the lathe. |
