Your tool is tearing away the wood, rather than cutting it. You are probably using a scraper rather than a skew, or else the skew is too dull, but I think your real problem is the wood itself. Common building lumber "2x4s" are not pine, they're spruce (I think). Unfortunately, they're too soft and loose grained for smooth turning although they work fine for throw away bluefish fodder (they won't hold screw eyes though). I suspect if you change your stock you'll solve your problem. Good luck.
