The first book I ever bought on turning pens was the book by Kip C and Rex B. A great book with good ideas and projects. In the book they talk about shear scraping with the skew chisel but I don't think it's all that well explained. I have shear scraped on bowls with gouges and it works well, does anyone here use shear scraping with the skew chisel? My experience when I attempt to use it is that sometimes for no apparent reason the skew will bite. Other times it works well. It could be the angle I'm presenting the tool, it could be timber, I don't know. The tool is sharp so we can rule that out. Any help on this would be appreciated.
