Ok I gave the search function a shot & got nothing. If the answer to my question is in there can someone point me to it please. I'm turning and finishing some bowls. Sanded them up to 3000 grit (silicon carbide)----because she said so.! No stain, just Helmsman varnish. Anyway, I can't get the opposing areas of end grain to sand smooth (inside or out). I'm still experiencing what I consider tear out. Any suggestions to alleviate this? Is it a function of inexperience, or technique? I'm using Easywood carbide tools if it matters. And -no- I haven't mastered a skew chisel yet. Lathe does not have reverse. All thoughts welcome.
