How thick sides green bowl

I can't really see any difference in MM's pics other than the second pic has wider shavings. With standard gouge orientation, you get more of the Archimedes type spiral, which I can get with a scraper, and as they fly off the tool and lathe they do helix a tiny bit. Yours and MM's are more the helix type I guess. I think the high shear angle lifts one side off first, and the other side of the shaving comes off second, so maybe that is why it twists.

Look again. The reason they twist, as before, is that one side is longer than the other, and has to travel farther to get the same place. You are enlarging the inside diameter, so if the shaving is unbroken, it must be longer on one side. Shear face removes a 1mm wide shaving perpendicular to the surface. Skew takes the same 1mm difference over a shaving more than 1mm wide, making a gentler twist.

Miles of rushes, lily pads, and points. Got one big one once right off a beaver dam. Some times they come up from casting, and one year it was really hot, and the only way we could find them was to troll. You never know. I have gotten some out in the flat open areas when every one else was jigging for walleye. It is fun, you have to hunt them down. Fresh water barracudas! I do prefer the Dare Devil spoons too. No substitutes. Even had a 12 inch pike take a 3 inch spoon.

Thirty years ago we used to go to a dear friends cabin in Man. Island in ontario. We trolled and I hooked a "big one" -northern pike. Gave the rod to my 5 yr old daughter, and after fighting it for 10 minutes she said i'm tired and wanted to give up the rod. her dad and i said ". no way"
Landed the guy-16 1/2 #, 42 inches as I recall. Husband raced it off to some motel for the Molsun blue fish contest and she got honerable mention. That fish that my husband held up with her standing, was taller than she was!!!! have a blast fishing!!!! Gretch
