Woodturning – Issue 403 (Current Issue)

In issue 403 of Woodturning magazine we have lots for you to enjoy, beginning with our Guest Editor, Andrew Potocnik, who welcomes you to the issue; and looks at the challenges of using rescued wood to make a bowl.

In Projects, Andy Coates completes his dressing table set; Rick Rich and Brian Harte make a toothpick holder; John Pedley creates a laminated bowl with a pewter insert; Sue Harker turns a trio of beaded egg cups; Mike Stafford makes a snowman and family; and Mark Palma builds a container to house his selection of buffing wheels.

In our Techniques section, Richard Findley continues his skew chisel skills series by making a festive decoration for the Christmas tree; Kurt Hertzog answers readers’ questions; James N. Duxbury makes a centre finder and morse taper; and Les Symonds considers an alternative to chasing threads.

In Features, Alexander Thomson looks at the beautiful work of Croatian turner Tomislav Tomašić; Trefor Roberts, president of the National Association of Woodworkers, reveals the first-place winners from this year’s Art of Wood competition; Terry Bray reports on the AWGB International Woodturning Seminar 2024; Alexander Thomson spends a sunny day at the Bentley Woodfair in East Sussex; and Pete Moncrieff-Jury turns Christmas gifts for family and friends.

We also have a sneak peek at our next issue, plus news from the Worshipful Company of Turners and a showcase of some of the entries for 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.
