Up Hill Cut
If you use an uphill cut, you are using your skew, bowl gouge or general tool in a manner that the lower fibers of the wood do not necessarily support the wood. The tool can have a tendency to catch in the upper layers of the wood. In the following animation, you see that the gouge moves up in a manner that could tend to catch the upper layers of the wood. Even if you don't have a catch, this cut could result in a rougher cut.
UV Resin
Resin that is activated by exposure to UV light. Not typically used to create turning blanks, but, used to fill holes or create small accents for using in blanks. For more information, see https://acrylgiessen.com/en/uv-resin/
