Looks like the loml has bought me a 4 jaw chuck for Christmas so I can start turning bowls and other things with it and I am so excited cannot wait but I will. Anyways I suck at sharpening gouges etc and have relied on a carbide tool I made to turn pens etc and would like to know the best carbide tool for hollowing bowls etc. Thanks in advance for your replies

I've been meaning to make me one of these for like five years but still haven't got around to it.

I use mainly the square cutter with slight radius for the roughing out, then switch to scrappers to finish. I am learning to use bowl gouges and do not want to rely on carbide only. If you ever get up north I am in Cottonwood

I grew up in Cottonwood and the surrounding area will do
