Woodturning Magazine Issue 398 Back Issue

In issue 398 of Woodturning magazine we have lots for you to enjoy, beginning with our Guest Editor, Andrew Potocnik, who welcomes you to the issue; turns old Douglas fir stair treads into a light; and introduces the intricate work of Australian turner Gary Field.

In Projects, Andy Coates turns a porringer from green oak; Les Symonds makes a noughts and crosses game; Colwin Way creates a beautiful part-resin bowl from a wormy piece of elm; Ian Woodford turns a sphere box from spalted beech and bubinga; Sue Harker turns a beaded vase; John Hawkswell makes a set of colourful ‘wonky’ mushrooms; and James N Duxbury turns an ‘eclipse’ tray using contrasting timbers.

In our Techniques section, Kurt Hertzog answers readers’ questions; Adrian Jacobs makes a jig to cut wedges for segmented turning; and Richard Findley uses the skills learned from the exercises in the previous issues to make two different tool handle designs with just a skew chisel.

In Features, Mark Beckett, the Gentleman Woodturner, explains how woodturning helped bring him back from the brink of death; Mark Palma explains why he now designs his turning projects according to their intended use; and Pete Moncrieff-Jury contemplates the concept of original ideas.

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 398!
