Woodturning – Issue 399

In issue 399 of Woodturning magazine we have lots for you to enjoy, beginning with our Guest Editor, Pat Carroll, who welcomes you to the issue; makes a sycamore bowl with a rim; and quizzes passionate turner and demonstrator Helen Bailey about her work and processes.

In Projects, Andrew Potocnik makes a stylish walnut box; James Duxbury turns a heart-shaped vase; Sue Harker makes a mushroom bud vase; Cedric Boyns turns display cones for a jewellery designer’s bracelets, bangles and rings; Mike Stafford makes small-footed vessels from scrap wood; and Colwin Way turns two simple bowls from the same size pieces of timber.

In our Techniques section, Kurt Hertzog answers readers’ questions; Andy Coates looks at adding beading to vessels, while Mark Palma tests a variety of beading tools; Les Symonds begins an in-depth series on reverse turning; Adrian Jacobs demonstrates how to use his segmented wedge cutting jig; and Richard Findley continues his skew chisel series by making a wooden mallet.

In Features, Anne Sundermann catches up with Glenn Lucas at his long-awaited Woodturning Study Centre; Rick Rich reports back from the annual American Association of Woodturners International Symposium; and Pete Moncrieff-Jury discusses turning parts to repair traditional craft pieces.

We also have a sneak peek at our special 400th issue, plus news from the Worshipful Company of Turners.
