Scrape it... Skew it... Cut it..... it's all good and fun. The only tool outside a roughing gouge I used in high school.

some good info here

I like the use of the carrot!
I use both ways, but the "peeling carrot" works the best. I have a sorby mini oval skew, sorby chisels rock!

as for me, the proper way to use a tool is the way that SAFELY works for you.
if you watch me working you would think "what is this clown doing?!?" with some of my techniques, but they work for me. most importantly they work for me SAFELY and provide good results, and yet there some things that make me want to pull hairs over!

In short, practice, practice practice, and when you are tired of practicing, practice some more. that's the best way to develop your technique.
and remember safety, more accidents happen when a person gets comfortable with doing something.
