Woodturning Magazine Issue 396 Edizione posteriore

In issue 396 of Woodturning magazine we have lots for you to enjoy, beginning with our Guest Editor, Colwin Way, who welcomes you to the issue; shows us around the new woodturning school he runs with his wife, Vicki; and commemorates the life and work of his mentor and friend Geoff Manley.

In Projects, Les Symonds makes his interpretation of a trails flask; Andrew Potocnik turns an ash coppice bowl; James Duxbury turns a kit for making paper planting pots; Andy Coates replicates an antique ebony jewellery stand; Sue Harker makes a two-ring candle holder; John Pedley creates a useful woodturner’s press out of woodworm-infected sycamore and boxwood; and Kip Christensen and Rex Burningham turn a slimline pen using an entry level kit.

In our Techniques section, Kurt Hertzog answers readers’ questions; Richard Findley sets his first skew chisel skill-building practice exercises; Adrian Jacobs shares his tips for working with jesmonite; and Mark Palma explores the technicalities of turning larger pieces out of thin blanks.

In Features, we learn about this year’s winner of the European Tree of the Year; and Pete Moncrieff-Jury asks: ‘What should we expect from demonstrators?’.

Plus we have a sneak peek of our next issue and news from the Worshipful Company of Turners.

All this and more in Woodturning 396!
