JOEYS CARVED ART

I was just browsing through the forum the other day and ran across a thread(not sure now which one) that had led to a discussion about background removal. Someone asked how to remove the backgrounds and most of the replies were similar especially with a few people agreeing that they crosshatch the background/fields with a square graver then cut it level with a flat graver. I usually just use a flat graver, what is the purpose of using the square graver first? Is it to get it more leveled out? I notice high spots in mine most of the time, would crosshatching the fields first eliminate this? Oh, I am mainly talking about HOBO nickels.
