'nother Russ Question - Sweazey Gouge

Mark Kauder, Phenix City, AL

>Just got me "DS" (convex) grind Bob Sweazey 1/2" gouge today.

1) Any tips on maintaining the grind? Could not see a single facet in the grind - did not look like it was done by hand.

2) Any tips on uing this particular grind? I did a test cut a lunch, and it seemed much harder to keep it cutting on the inside of a bowl - hard to keep it "on the bevel".

Thanks,

Mark
