Woodturning Magazine Issue 408 Back Issue

In issue 408 of Woodturning magazine we have lots for you to enjoy, beginning with our Guest Editor, Kurt Hertzog, who welcomes you to the issue; and answers readers’ turning questions.

In Projects, Les Symonds creates a hanging platter celebrating geometric forms; Andy Coates rethinks salad bowls after reading Dave Regester’s Simply Good For Salads, from issue one of Woodturning; Andrew Potocnik creates and decorates a bowl in the style of a sea urchin; Sue Harker turns an Art Deco-style four-funnel bud vase; James N Duxbury turns a container for use in ikebana flower arranging; Anthony Harris turns a four-piece chess pawn; and John Hawkswell finds a use for his timber offcuts by making lidded boxes.

In our Techniques section, Richard Findley continues his skew series by turning some wooden pens that don’t need pen kits; Mark Palma looks at turning old growth timber; and Rick Rich practises beads and coves from a 1920s book.

In Features, Alexander Thomson talks to David Szelpal about his colourful work and creative use of materials; the winners and runners-up of The Mark Baker Woodturner of the Year competition tell us how they made their award-winning pieces; and Pete Moncrieff-Jury explains why he has scaled down his turning events to smaller, local craft shows.

We also have a sneak peek at our next issue, updates from the turning community and news from the Worshipful Company of Turners.

All this and more in Woodturning 408!
