here are the picture of my next bowl its dry red maple live edge with the tenon inside the foot, the foot has to go. By the time I true it there will be nothing left and that will also make it easier to clean the bottom. one problem i have in removing the tenon is the gouge vibrates on the tool rest, alot
A couple of things. That is a beautiful bowl. I love the shape and the foot. Why does the tenon have to go if it's hidden by the foot? I have some bowls with really crappy, unfinished mortise that I just left. I could go back and sand, and finish them but since the bowls are not for sale, I don't mind the unfinished bottoms.
I get the same issues as you do. I change tools often if one doesn't work (I am sure meaning I am not using it right). I end up turning the outside with gouges, and the inside with carbide scrapers. Use what works. Then I used the "sand, sand, sand, hit it again with a scraper, sand, sand, sanding sealer, go sit down and drink some water and relax, come back, scrape, sand, (repeat all of that if needed) then finish" method. And that usually works. And some go into the burn box.
My big thing is for me to relax, and slow down. I think I get caught up in how long a bowl turning video is vs how long it actually takes them. There is some great turners here willing to help any issue. I have learned a lot from these members and am always learning new things.
Finally, follow the advice here. When you hit an issue, send pictures, and describe what, and how your doing what ever is causing the issues. We're here to help!
