Very Newbie Question
depends on many things.
It takes practice lots of practice to get a finish surface. Even then
some woods will always produce a rough surface especially on end grain.
Another thing to do is go buy an inexpensive grinder (assuming your
chisels are inexpensive also) and put a proper edge on your tools.
Research sharpening on the net a bit and then try it again.

Apologies if this is really stupid:
I just received my new Jet mini lathe and Pinacle tools from Woodcraft.
I have turned only once, many years ago. I honed the tools with some
rouge and then used the lathe. My cuts are really really rough, and I
think I'm just ripping the wood. How clean should I expect my cuts to
be? Does the wood species matter in this? Is it that my tools are
dull, or is my cutting technique poor, or both?
Thanks,
Steve
