Max, instead of using a skew, use a round nose scraper, freshly sharpened,
tilted up at about a 45 degree angle, with the bevel rubbing. Guess what?
It cuts well, will not catch. However, it really doesn't work well for
long
straight sections, as the handle is at a 60-75 degree angle to the
surface.
But for plankwise open bowls, it is great to do the last pass (inside and
out) to leave a very clean cut. Try it, you will like it!!


They even sell a similar tool. If you take the bevel back even farther, you
can get more to guide on what is surely an extreme Lacer grind.
