Bowl gouge getting hot

Not from sharpening. I'm turning the large bowl and it's thrown off pretty warm shavings and that bowl gouge is getting a little uncomfortable to hold. What am I doing wrong?

Not necessarily doing anything wrong. It can be fairly common especially if turning kiln-dried wood at high RPMs.
