    Thank you for the hints I will try these and other suggestions offered. One was too apply several coats of danish oil or sanding sealer then try cutting with gouge or sheer scrapeing or just sand and see what results.Another idea was to cut one way(big to small diameter) if no improvement go opposite. I will reply when I have tried all the suggestions thanks.mick
