End Grain When Turning - Family Woodworking

OK, I looked all over. Net result is that I was side tracked a dozen times by something else interesting. Now that I am here I have a question.

Glenn laminated up several layers of 3/4 inch walnut from cut-offs from building his chest of drawers.

I turned this into a cylinder and finished up the bottom and foot. I had some problems with the grain tearing out when the turning tool passed the end grain. It was not horrible. I did resolve it with a lot of sandpaper.

Now I am doing the inside and the cutting across the cross grain is going poorly. I cannot even smooth it with sandpaper. What am I doing wrong? I don't seem to be able to ask the correct questions to get an answer from a Search.

It is not clear in the pic. However, the tear out is in the lower right part of the outermost ring. You can see part of the tear out in the second ring---it is to the left.

As the drowning man said, "HELP!"

Thanks in advance for your help and Enjoy,

JimB
