What is whittled?

[RED Matthews]

Hello. Well I have been working on an answer to your question. I am fairly new to this FORUM operation. In fact I am still learning how to work my way around in it. But I have realized for a long time that the term Whittled is not suitable to what we are seeing in the glass that was formed against a mold section that was too cold. The making of anything out of glass is a process of controlled heat loss in each stage of it happening.
My new post going on my homepage will cover this subject some more.

Hi, I just went through this list of replies and contacts. I thought I had sent one to you, but I guess not. I get lost in this great Forum activity because I am still new to using it. Anyway go to my homepage http://www.bottlemysteries.com and then go to the box for blogs, and there is one there about Cold Mold Ripple. I posted the first paragraph of that blog here on the Forum and got all kinds of replies. But the blog tells what it is and what causes it. I realize that the terms Whittle and Hammered are never going away, but you can't pick corn until you plant and hoe the plants. RED Matthews
