Used a roughing out gouge as I always do, I never use anything else - I have only been doing this for 6 months and I am a complete beginner so any suggestions on types of chisels to use would be good.

I don't think in this case the glue was the issue because as you can see it didn't conveniently split on a join, it actually ripped the wood in half so I reckon it was not enough glue on the tube, and also maybe in too tight on the mandrel...
