I have had minimal success at turning non-spindles, that is, bowl blanks. I am not very good with the bowl gouge but the new Easy Wood rougher has opened a whole new world for me where I can actually shape something from a bowl blank.
I am interested in turning tea light holders and with the Easy Wood, I made one without a hitch until the end. I cannot seem to get the end grain to smooth out. In other words, on the side of my piece you can see rough spots where the end grain and the side grain meet. I used lacewood so that may have made it worse. What can I do for a better blend???
