Woodturning Magazine Issue 404 Back Issue

In issue 404 of Woodturning magazine we have lots for you to enjoy, beginning with our Guest Editor, Mike Stafford, who welcomes you to the issue; and makes a Swedish tomte gnome.


In Projects, Les Symonds turns an end-grain vase with a swing handle; Andrew Potocnik makes an open-sided box from Tasmanian blackwood; Rick Rich turns a candlestick from 2x4 timber; Sue Harker decorates a turned bowl with cut grooves; and John Hawkswell makes stripy salt and pepper pots.


In our Techniques section, Andy Coates tries out cloisonné; Richard Findley continues his skew chisel skill-building series by turning an oak pear; and Kurt Hertzog answers readers’ questions.


In Features, Alexander Thomson discovers how John Gillmoure went from photography to woodturning; Trefor Roberts, president of the National Association of Woodworkers, reveals the second and third place winners of the Art of Wood Exhibition; Mark Palma addresses the complicated issue of turning professionally; and Pete Moncrieff-Jury asks, what do woodturners do when they retire?


We also have a sneak peek at our next issue, plus news from the Worshipful Company of Turners and an update on the Mark Baker Woodturner of the Year Award, a competition in honour of the former Editor of Woodturning, with £4,000 worth of prizes to be won.


All this and more in Woodturning 404!
