I'm just getting into turning after a long break. I got this burl maple (kind of spalted) I turned the outside with not much problem; but hollowing it out is giving me trouble. I just cant get a bowl gouge in the bottom of the bowl. I tried my crown hollowing tool, but it's grabby and leaves a pretty crappy finish. Not to mention chattering. I'm leaving a sort of natural edge.
