I've got some box elder that is ready for its second turn and it seems it is "chunking out" on the inside of the bowl. Like real bad tear out in the end grain. I assumed it was from technique and/or dull tools so I sharpened and tried a couple times to clean it up. Its now happened on a couple other pieces from the same tree. I've got "lots" of experience first turning green wood but a lot less on final turning and could use some pointers. What techniques can I try to get a clean cut so I don't need to start sanding with 15 grit?
I've tried a bowl bottom gouge, regular bowl gouge, and a scraper.
