I've been woodturning as a hobby for 4 months now. I have one question which has been bugging me. Which is the preferred tool for cutting beads on the end grain? I'm making some little boxes and I'm finding it time consuming decorating the flat top of the lids with beads. I've currently resorted to a pear drop shaped scraper. I've tried using a gouge, but I can only manage to catch it terribly, because it's cutting into the grain. I have no problem turning beads on a spindle or on the side of the box with a gouge. Any advice appreciated!
