So I wound up making another bowl I wanted to try out the Food Grade Mineral Oil finish on this one and I actually like it quite well it worked good fortunately its quite cheap to pick up.  Not the best looking bowl but I'm happy with it.  The EWT hollower worked quite well only had a couple of catches with it because I don't have a negative rake cutter for it as of yet but still either way worked well.  I've still even got a wobble not sure how to fix it exactly.

 

Looks Good!

 

A little lighter touch on the inside will help remove tool marks and make sanding easier.

Yea I'm still working on that I've just got a wobble problem still that if I cant get rid of I'll have to buy a new lathe LOL.

The lathe is fine.  I watched your video and the chuck was turning true as any I've seen.  I didn't see any wobble until after you used the sand paper.  The more sanding that needs done the more wobble appears.  The wobble increased when the bowl was turned around which is normal.  Once in a great while a bowl will turn true when reversed to do the inside.  There are times I have recut the outside after reversing to blank do the inside because of the wobble.  The more sanding done the more wobble too.  On a bowl there are two sides of long grain and two sides of cross grain.  The cross grain does not sand nearly as easily as the long grain and that causes a bowl to be out of round too. 

Well now that's good to know at least the lathe isn't causing the wobble LOL.  Maybe its just getting used to the fact that it will do that.  its a pain for the tools though glad I wasn't using hss gouges on these because I probably would have ruined those entirely.

I would suggest to save time and your tools and machinery, that I would lop off those corners with anything that you have.  If you have access to a bandsaw, draw your circle and cut on the waste side of the line.  That will make it almost round.  If not a bandsaw, a handsaw can work pretty well.  It won't cut into a circle that I know of.  But, once you draw your circle, you can cut off the corners close to your circle and then start turning from there.  I think this will save much time, aggravation and machinery in addition to your gouges.  

The little bandsaw that I do have does not like the big 3 inch blocks it wasn't really made to cut material that thick.

Just watched the video. The EWT rougher works best if you plunge it into the turning instead of working side to side. Starting at one end push the tool into the piece using only about half the width of the cutter. Only go about half the depth of the cutter. Withdraw the tool move about half the width of the cutter and repeat. Continue the length of the piece. Repeat the process until the piece is round. 

Yea I realized that after a bit, but figured the plunging out the hardway LOL.

I still can’t see any wobble. Does it happen when you take the turning off of the faceplate and mount it on the chuck?

It seems to me that it wants to act like it’s off balance... kind of like when you’d start off with the square blank and the lathe would want to walk across the table.   But it is not as bad as that.  It would happen after I’ve rounded the blank....

So you make the square blank round and then the wobble starts while it is still on the faceplate 

That would be what’s happening....

What kind/diameter screws are you using to mount the piece to the faceplate. Maybe the screws are allowing the turning to shift. 
 

I can’t see how a wobble can show up after you turn the piece round if you haven’t changed the mounting 

Not sure exactly what the diameter of the screws are but they fit tightly into the pre drilled holes into the face plate which does hold the blank fairly securely.

Nice bowl. You are still working on the tearout left after sanding. It is easier to remove tearout with final verrrry light passes with a sharp tool. I prefer bowl gouge but use what you have and the shavings should look like angel hair. In using a bowl gouge you would do the final shear scrape with a freshly sharpened bowl gouge.

 

Now for something that I think could be very helpful in you venture into HSS and better steels for gouges. I posted in New Bowl Gouge by Postal Tom a link to Stuart Batty's Seven Fundamentals videos . Watch them all and yes there are more than seven.

@Gerald I actually saw that thread I did not comment on there how ever, that looks like quite a nice bowl gouge and quite possibly maybe added to the small collection of tools I've been gathering.  I also have plans for building better tool benches and pre drilling holes for the lathe so it can lock down firmly.  Probably smaller benches that fit the lathe it self and but up against the wall.  But its one goal I have.  As far as the bowl goes just more practice LoL.  And thanks.

Thanks that is a Thompson 5/8 v bowl gouge with a Ellsworth style grind . Just ordered another as this one is close to the end.
