Shawn is 100% correct Bob. There are an infinite number of ways to get the final shape you want. What way you choose if a matter of skills, tools available, and, most important, HOW you want to do what. You can get the exact same shape 3 ways:
- All Stretch
- All Shrink
- Combination of both
They will all LOOK exactly the same but the difference is in the metal thickness at various points. For bowl shapes, all stretch results in thinner centers (usually) while all shrink has thicker edges and original thickness in the center. Combinations will usually be a bit thinner in the center and thicker on the edges.
