Wong,
What is that you're trying to turn in the last picture? If that's one of those MT blank arbors that have the "blank" end supposedly softened then I suspect that's your problem. I bought a couple of those and couldn't get a decent finish turning them. Be sure to use plenty of cutting oil and a slight radius on the cutting tool tip and take light cuts.
