I don't see any air bubbles in it.

Thats because they burst when the gouge
Got to them the holes just looked like they could have been air pockets in the blank just a thought
But great recovery well done.

No, it definitely chipped out. I know, I've done it before.

Great save Jim, the pen came out well.

I can see what happened and at the moment I am oscillating between a negative rake scraper and my http://www.workshopheaven.com/tools/Ashley_Iles_Martin_Pidgen_All_Rounder.html . Essentially I have reshaped the latter to have long sides and so it rolls and slices quite nicely because as with cabinet making all depends on the angle of attack of the slicing edge; thus it behaves like a spindle gouge but at the important point rolls into 'like a skew'. Moreover, when I am turning bowls it can become a bowl gouge (it has a 45 degree bevel which I can double at will).
