well I picked me up a piece of green wood the other day and thought I would try turning it,,,it was a piece that was cut up after a tree had been took down,,other than the bark,,the ends looked fairly square,,i mounted it on a face plate and brought the tail stock up to support it,,,i turned the sides using a roughing gouge and got it round ,,so I went to the end to try to face it off and smooth it using a 1/2 bowl gouge,,i wasn't running it but about 200 to 500 rpm,,,i cant tell you how many catches I had,,and it was so bad it was pulling the bowl gouge between the wood and tool rest,,so bad it actually pulled it away from the chuck and I had the tool rest so close to the wood,,,,lol,,I know im doing something wrong,,,could anyone help or give some suggestions,,,i had planed on putting a picture on here but couldn't get it downloaded to my computer,,,thank you
