I've made quite a few bowls and had some pretty good luck, but lately they seem to chip and tearout like crazy. My latest ones are made of cherry, walnut, maple, and oak. The oak chips and tears...

Thank you guys. I can't get the photo from my camera to the PC. I will this weekend and post it

As soon as I figure out how

I bought a bunch of scrap from a lumber yard the other day. It is supposed to be South American hardwood. I've had a great time with it until yesterday when I tried to turn a segmented bowl. The...
