It's been about 5+ years since I attempted to turn a bowl and today was not planned but I saw a piece of wood today I've had stored for a few years and the next thing I knew it was spinning on the lathe with no real plan in place. So far, it's going well but I have a question......Many years ago I purchased a "Robert Sorby swan neck tool". I have rarely used this tool, but I find it to be rather dull and doesn't cut well although I feel it would serve me well on this bowl. It has a HSS cutting bit, but I don't know how to go about sharpening the bit. Do I simply remove it from the handle and rub it on a honing stone? Or is there a better way? Any tips would be appreciated.
