Sort of the wrong group...
please join us in rec.crafts.woodturning
As with most turning questions, I'd advise going to Darrell Feltmates site:
http://aroundthewoods.com/sharpening01.html
He has sections for almost any type of turning question and is very helpful..
I have skews sharpened in about 5 or 6 different ways, depending on their use..
This comes from a lot of it is practice and personal preference, but the
traditional skew is a flat bevel, to ride on the wood as you cut..
