Does anyone know of a website that displays crown variations and techniques for shaping a hat?

I’ve never heard of such a site. Mostly it’s just YouTube searches.

There might be a bit of show here as to what type and style creases that the members are experimenting and preferably using and bashing on their lids and toppers.
You can always search a thread here to see what is available.

Can a wool felt be steam creased like a fur felt?

Yep, that's the one. You'll learn a lot there.

Really? I thought heat and/or moisture (i.e. steam) can cause wool felt hats (specifically cheap/low quality wool felt hats) to shrink.
You're right, Al. The crease will just be smaller.

VS (Vintage Silhouette) Wanderer (in a granite beaver hued felt with matching ribbon treatment). I like the crease on this felt to maximize the height at the front of the crown with this hat. It gives front visual appeal and makes the eye seek the vent features on the sides.

Now that is a nice lid, just the right amount of brim and crown.
Cool shade of color as well!
Thanks for sharing sir!

Some hats just call out for a center crease.
This is one such hat. Imho
