I'm wanting to turn forms from unseasoned Douglas Fir
With extremes of hardness between winter and summer wood I'm struggling with tearout,particularly on the end end grain areas.Even with hair thin cuts and sharp chisels still getting tearout.
Has anyone found a particular gouge grind profile and presentation or any other process helpful?
What process do people use to bleach turned forms?I want to remove colour, not cover with stain.
