Woodturning Magazine

In issue 426 of Woodturning magazine we have lots for you to enjoy, beginning with our Guest Editor, Josh Brower, who welcomes you to the issue and uses a scrap of claro walnut and some new kit from Rikon to make a phone amplifier.


In Projects, Les Symonds makes a pitcher based on upside-down design norms; Sue Harker decorates a bowl using hot-melt glue; Andrew Potocnik makes a container from Queensland walnut; Rick Rich accepts a commission to turn 57 bell handles; James Duxbury creates a second bowl in his shifted bowl series; Mike Stafford turns a rectangular bowl with medullary rays; and Andy Coates makes a box from a Bellani pumpkin.


In our Techniques section, Kurt Hertzog answers readers’ questions; and Richard Findley continues his box-making series as he recreates an antique pedestal box; and Mark Palma takes a course in basket illusion work with Karl Hansen.


In Features, Josh Brower meets James Carter, the owner of a Texas turning school and explores his signature Christmas ornaments; Alan Goodsell shares the highlights of this year’s AAW Symposium Instant Gallery; and Mike Stafford bravely explores a whole new world of wood.


Plus, there’s a sneak peek at our next issue and updates from the turning community.


All this and more in Woodturning 426!
