I was working on hollowing a walnut blank yesterday and it was really giving me a hard time. I have done some bowl turning, so I'm not new to it, but I certainly wouldn't say I'm proficient at it. I eventually noticed that when I was sharping my bowl gouge that the edge wasn't coming out flat. There was a little bump in the middle of the edge.
I'm assuming the bump was the root cause of the issue, but I have no idea how it got there or how to get rid of it. I only notice it on right edge and not so much on the left edge.
I have a vari-grind jig and a raptor set up jig. I made sure that the wheel was ground flat across and not on an angle.
What is causing this and how can I correct it? I probably ground up 1/2" of my gouge yesterday trying to smooth it out.
Thanks,
Derek
