When facing off the end of say a bowl I have seen using the bottom side of the flute in a scraping motion back and forth. Is there a way to use the tip of the gouge to cut this? Seems like a catch waiting to happen?
My wife wanted me to make a wooden button for her. I was wondering how to cut a recess in the face to make it look a little fancier. Worried that as soon as the gouge hits end grain it will catch and ruin the turning.
Thanks
Mike
