Hello All,
I have a several of larger ash bowls, 12+ inches in diameter, that I roughed out last June. I remounted the bowls between the chuck and the tailstock and true up the outside. For some reason I am having a hard time getting the bowl to run true especially out by the rim. Once I think I got it, I mount the bowl in the chuck to do the inside and the bowl is way out of round. The tools are sharp and my tenon is cut clean. I am moving the gouge slowly through the wood, not rushing the cut.
Do I need to mount larger blanks differently? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
-Joe
