Working on Christmas bell ornaments and having trouble with the inside only. It is not the wood as I am seeing the same condition with cherry, walnut, ash and sassafras.
The tearout is mostly at the glue joints and on the leading edge of the glue joint. That is, the edge of the glue joint that meets the gouge first. Gouge used inside is the same one used outside which has no tearout.
Difficult enough to get in the Christmas ornament making mood when it is 90~95 degrees and a blazing sun outside and then having quality issues.
