Woodturning is read by turning enthusiasts in over 60 countries worldwide and is packed with projects, features on turners around the world, tests and reviews, as well as news, letters and tips. Our projects cater for varying levels of ability, so there is something for everyone, from beginner to professional. The April issue contains a host of projects for you to make including a range some Easter projects including pierced & coloured eggs and a commemorative eggcup. There is also kitchen storage jars; a shallow offset segmented dish and a carved mini hollow form.
