Woodturning Issue 362

In issue 362 of Woodturning magazine we have lots for you to enjoy, beginning with our Guest Editor Les Symonds, who makes six display stands from a single turned piece; introduces us to Welsh woodturner Miriam Jones; and discusses his involvement with the Register of Professional Turners.

In Projects, Jim McConnachie completes his segmented ginger jar; Andrew Potocnik completes a challenging burl platter; Andy Coates combines scrap timber with pewter; Sue Harker makes a skeleton candle holder from yew; Janice Levi turns a matching jewellery set; Alan Holtham makes a gavel; Paul Maddock turns a lidded box from a banksia pod; and David Springett creates an attractive lid to transform a simple bowl or vase.

In our Techniques section, Brian Horais adds threads to lidded jars; Kurt Hertzog answers readers’ questions; and Richard Findley shares the highlights of his working month.

In Features, Anthony Bailey looks at the characteristics of oak; Ross Johnstone tells us about his business handcrafting traditional Highland bagpipes; John Holloway explains how he took up turning; and Pete Moncrieff-Jury suggests looking to other crafts for inspiration.

Plus we have the latest news from the woodturning community and a sneak peek of our next issue.

All this and more in Woodturning 362!
