Introduction to Woodturning Woodturning is the craft of shaping wood using a lathe, enabling the creation of a wide variety of objects such as furniture legs, bowls, pens, and platters. The process involves securing a piece of wood to the lathe, which spins the material at high speed, allowing the woodturner to sculpt and refine the shape. Essential Tools To achieve these forms, woodturners employ a range of specialised tools, including chisels, gouges, scrapers, and drill bits. Each tool serves a particular purpose, from rough shaping to creating fine details, and their careful use is essential for producing distinctive and high-quality results. Materials and Finishes A variety of woods can be selected for turning, each offering unique characteristics that influence both the technique used and the final appearance of the piece. The choice of finish—whether wax, oil, or lacquer—also plays a significant role, affecting the texture, colour, and durability of the finished work. Learning the Craft Although woodturning presents its challenges, it is a skill that can be mastered with practice and careful attention to detail. By repeatedly refining techniques and remaining patient, anyone can progress and develop their ability in this rewarding craft. I have over 36 years of woodturning experience and have managed my own business for 25 years. I've demonstrated in both the UK and USA and published more than 60 articles in GMC Woodturning Magazine.
