I have a problem with turning blanks with celtic knots. I'm not sure if I'm using the wrong tool or its not sharp enough, or whatever.
More times than not when I am turning a celtic knot blank, I tend to blow it apart when I start getting close to the tube.
At first I figured that I was just getting a catch with my skew, so I quit using the straight skew and started using one with rounded edges...same result.
I am taking the lightest cuts (I believe) that I can.
Maybe I should use a scraper or EasyWood tool?
Any help would be appreciated.
