As far as spindles go I live with a skew, or actually several skews, and the
occasional spindle gouge. Interestingly enough, for spindle oriented face
plate work I like an Oland for most of the turning with hook tools inside. I
do use scrapers as shear scrapers on the outside before sanding, but that is
not really what you are asking, methinks.

Still working on my skewage, Darrell. I do well when the skewmaster I
know is at my elbow, but soon after I lose the touch. I think it is
because I don't do much spindle turning at all. I like bowls, lamps,
etc, and even when I went through the pen stage some years back I used
a "continental gouge" because one of my buddies had one and I liked
it.

I was actuall shooting for more on the idea of what tool is being used
on a true spindle, like a table leg, baluster, gavel, etc. Do you use
your Olands on those, too?
