I was honing a NOS Dorko last night. Anyway, I found that if I used a slight arch to the stroke, it was easier for me to make more consistent stokes. I think the little wrist movement is easier for me to keep steady than moving my arm.

The stroke was a normal x pattern, but I started with the heel leading a bit and finished with the tip leading a bit.

Does anyone think there is any disadvantage to this method?
