So I'm at the lathe roughing out a piece of wet walnut into a bowl-like shape. As I'm trying to turn the bottom I just can't seem to get the cuts/surface smooth. I started using my fingernail grind 5/8" bowl gouge in a cutting position, then smae gouge in a scraping position then finally to a large scraper. Still have a surface that looks like the wood was pulled apart. Even sharpened the gouge just to cover that possibility. I normally don't use wet wood and this is my first walnut. Until now Ive always finished my bowl right away, even with the wet pieces. Am I missing something about this walnut or am I still suffering from the big learning curve? Do I need to just rough it out and then dry it? Maybe its something else that I am doing wrong.
