We all experience tearout in end grain. There will be two spots inside
and outside the bowl. Very light scrapes and sanding are the only way I
know of getting them out.

I'm really have problems turning end grain both in bowls and boxes. I have
tried light shearing cuts with a round nose scrapper, small gouges,and some
hollowing tools but get allot of tearing out; that takes forever to sand
away. I have tried cutting down hill but I have little success. Any advise
or suggestions!!
