Woodturning Magazine Issue 406 Zurück Ausgabe

In issue 406 of Woodturning magazine we have lots for you to enjoy, beginning with our Guest Editor, Martin Saban-Smith, who welcomes you to the issue; and discusses his journey into professional woodturning, teaching and producing his own finishes.

In Projects, Andy Coates makes a wall clock with a battery mechanism; James Duxbury makes a wooden pen press for assembling pen parts; Kai Koethe explores how to turn spinning tops with three or more corners using an eccentric chuck; Andrew Potocnik creates an unusual piece of wall art; Mike Stafford turns bud vases and weed pots from spalted sycamore; and Sue Harker makes a candlestick from a yew log.

In our Techniques section, Kurt Hertzog answers readers’ questions; Les Symonds designs stands for turned wooden spheres; Richard Findley continues his skew chisel series by completing the Windsor-style stool he began last month; Mark Palma tries out oil finishes; and Nick Arnull demonstrates carving, pyrography and texturing techniques.

In Features, we announce the winners of the Mark Baker Woodturner of the Year Competition; we showcase work from the Wood Symphony Gallery’s annual winter exhibition The Art of Giving; and Pete Moncrieff-Jury embraces the pleasure of semi-retirement.

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 406!
