Woodturning Magazine Issue 405 Back Issue

In issue 405 of Woodturning magazine we have lots for you to enjoy, beginning with our Guest Editor, Andy Coates, who welcomes you to the issue; makes an LED-illuminated sculpture; and reviews Record Power’s range of Pro Comfort Tools.

In Projects, Andrew Potocnik turns some wooden pebbles to decorate the lid of an oak box; Ger Vervoort turns an elegant banksia vase; Les Symonds makes a pair of sculptural candlesticks; Rick Rich creates a series of small bowls; Alan Holtham chases a thread on the two halves of a potpourri holder; Sue Harker turns a pedestal bowl-style candle holder; Mark Palma makes a pretty bowl from an unappealing piece of white oak; and Mike Stafford makes a trinket box.

In our Techniques section, Kurt Hertzog answers readers’ questions; James N Duxbury incorporates pewter into the base of his bowl blank; and Richard Findley continues his skew chisel series by exploring traditional chair-making skills to craft a Windsor-style stool.

In Features, Alexander Thomson meets Dave Dalby, a man who turns from the heart; and Pete Moncrieff-Jury considers the wisdom of asking for turning tools as gifts.

We also have a sneak peek at our next issue, plus news from the Worshipful Company of Turners and an update on the Mark Baker Woodturner of the Year Award, a competition in honour of the former Editor of Woodturning, with £4,000 worth of prizes to be won.

All this and more in Woodturning 405!
