Speaking of keeping your incising even...
I have started carving some of my leatherhard pots of cone 6 "porcelain".
Even though I smoothed over the throwing lines with a metal rib, once I
carve into the pot, the throwing lines reappear! I am guessing that I need
to rib the inside simultaneously, but I have not yet mastered that skill
with small bowls.

Hi Carol.
I rib both the inside and outside of my pots.
You can manipulate the rib to fit small bowls.
I don't rib both sides simultaneously. I'll use a sponge
then go back and rib the inside and outside again.
It takes a light touch for the final ribbing. Takes a bit of practice but
is worth it.
BTW I find that a ribbed teapot spout doesn't warp (unwind).
I hold a chopstick or even the blunt end of a needle tool stationary
in the interior while ribbing the outside. It remains stable even if I
manipulate it later.
