Woodturning – Issue 401

In issue 401 of Woodturning magazine we have lots for you to enjoy, beginning with our Guest Editor, Richard Findley, who welcomes you to the issue; and continues his skew chisel skill building series by making spinning tops.

In Projects, Andrew Potocnik makes a split-turned bowl from red gum; Les Symonds creates an Art Deco-style jug; John Hawkswell decorates a walnut vase with a veneer inset; Sue Harker turns a segment-shaped bud vase; Rita Duxbury turns a natural-edge lighthouse ornament; Cedric Boynes makes a tricky ‘captured’ goblet within a goblet; and Ger Vervoort turns a latticed oyster box.

In our Techniques section, Kurt Hertzog answers readers’ questions; Andy Coates uses miniature tools to create a selection of small pieces; and Mark Palma explores methods to deter colour bleed through.

In Features, we learn how Ashley Harwood has built a turning business selling tools, tuition and beautiful pieces; Emiliano Achaval reviews the Woodcut Bowl Saver; Andy Coates takes an in-depth look at the new Record Power Sabre 300 bandsaw; and Pete Moncrieff-Jury ponders how to assess worth.

We also have a sneak peek at our next issue, plus news from the Worshipful Company of Turners and information about 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 401!
