Woodturning Magazine Issue 397 Edizione posteriore

In issue 397 of Woodturning magazine we have lots for you to enjoy, beginning with our Guest Editor, Les Symonds, who welcomes you to the issue; turns a set of table skittles; helps with a steam engine heritage project; and finds out how Darren Breeze has developed his skills and business since being introduced in Woodturning six years ago.

In Projects, Andy Coates uses a pith board to make a textured bowl; Andrew Potocnik turns a jug inspired by a ceramic piece; Neil Turner replicates a globulus seed pod; Colwin Way makes a pair of candlesticks and pens from some misidentified timber; Sue Harker decorates a bowl with glitter; and Pat Carroll incorporates beads on a lidded yew vessel.

In our Techniques section, Kurt Hertzog answers readers’ questions; and Richard Findley sets his second set of skill-building skew chisel exercises.

In Features, woodturners David Buskell, Keith Welsh and Jim Christiansen discuss what it could take to keep the craft alive; Mark Palma utilises a second-hand grinder to set up a sharpening station; and Pete Moncrieff-Jury asks: ‘Am I too old to try something new?’

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

All this and more in Woodturning 397!
