today i but a green maple log on. Started turning with 1 1/4 spindle gouge. Not good went to grinder then back to wood . Beautiful couple feet long 1/4 to 1/2 inch shavings. Then i changed to my other tools bowl gouge and spindle gouge. Riding bevel no shavings. Cutting not so good. Went to my one way sharpening jig with 120 grit blue wheel then back to wood. Same problem. Chisels seem good. Last thing i turned was a type of rosewood. Really gummy and oily. All my tools seem to be having trouble.
What am i doing wrong. I dont have a stone that can touch up inside of tool. There seems to be a bit of gum inside groves. My scrapers work good though. I think the last wood i cut was dalmata.
