RBH said:Jauntyone, I like the looks of that one!!! I say you did good!
Try lowering the crease a little, the front pinch, the back ...ect ect.
Did you put a center dent in? [it has been my thinking that center dents are great for the tall crown look]. Diamonds and c-crowns work best for giving a little bit of a lower crown feel to a hat.
Thanks! I creased it as deeply as I could. Any more and I start to get a reverse taper that is almost comical. Same for the C-crown and diamond bashes. They all make the top of the crown significantly larger than the bottom; it develops a "light bulb" shape. I'm just having fun shaping it! The felt is so soft and can be bashed over and over leaving no creases. It goes right back to its original dome shape. Really a great hat!
