Do you roll the English type gouges over on their side to get a more slicing cut, like shear scraping?
Just for fun, today I grabbed a chunk of scrap 2 inch heart pine timber that was cut out of the floor framing of our 1896 church hall and made a tool handle.
I used a 20 gauge shot gun barrel as a roughing gouge and a junk Chinese carbon 1 inch skew. No drama except when I was lowering the skew down for a planing cut, the skew touched the blank before the tool rest and I took out a little chip.
I think learning to use the skew is like learning to ride a bike. Once you learn, it stays with you.So much timber, so little time.

It is still a cut not a scrape.
