Thread: Sheer scraping - big or little bowl gouge?

Actually that bit wasn't so bad! Those are small clusters of some feature which looks a little like very large birdseye (unsure what the name of it is) which were all through the blank. They actually cut pretty well - I think because they might be a little harder than the rest of the wood, but that's only a guess.

Around the rim on curly/wavy grain was where I had most difficulty, having to make unsupported cuts.
