Quote from: Crutch on March 08, 2011, 11:11:52 PMI've had problems with areas on a pot that wanted to tear rather than cut cleanly like on the end grain. I know there is an answer as to why this is happening to me, but figured I would learn the hard way like most people do. Sharpening the tools, angle and pressure seem to be one reason it seem to not cut evenly. A glue or sealer would help stop this but I suspect I am doing something wrong and don't want to have to go with a chemical just to complete a turning. I am getting tired of the sanding though. Any advice would be appreciated.

I'm not sure I even know what perfect wood is?[/quotMy definition of perfect wood is no rotted spots in it, no worm holes, and no knots that will fall out when you are turning the call. I dont mind a small knot that can be worked with.
