I also see a few marks on the inside that indicate the wood was bruised by the heel of the gouge, but things like that will improve with practice. You're off to a great start!
Nicely done, Roger. Pine (especially dried pine) is a tough wood cut cleanly. (That's why you had some spots of tearout.) I also see a few marks on the inside that indicate the wood was bruised by the heel of the gouge, but things like that will improve with practice. You're off to a great start!
If I put a secondaty bevel on the back of the gouge, would that help? I can do that easily.

Helps for me, I actually use a weird grind because ain't no one smacked me around to make me know better... but it basically has almost no heal. The bevel you ride only needs to be a small fraction of an inch long for it to work, the rest is (imho) mostly in the way.
