0700. HUGE GOUGE DELIGHT.pdf

Every bowl turner runs into the same problem at about the same place when doing the inside of a bowl and that place is where the sides of the bowl transition into the bottom of the bowl. Typically, the turner is able to use a bowl gouge up to the transition zone but then runs out of room and needs to switch to a scraper or some other tool in order to finish cutting the inside profile. Typically, there is very little control of the cutting tool or the tool leaves a very poor finish with torn wood that needs to be sanded at length to get a reasonably smooth surface. IN THIS ARTICLE, I will teach you how to use a huge gouge [5/8" diameter or larger], sharpened as per my instructions, to surmount those difficulties and leave a tear-out-free surface. It makes turning the inside of a bowl a delight because of the surface it provides and the resulting dramatic decrease in sanding time.

* The greatest shortfall of magazines and books is the limited space they are able to devote to an article due to the cost of publication. The article must by necessity be compressed, as is the information provided. This is not a limiting factor with the internet.
