Skill Level: Intermediate

Prerequisite: Fundamental Techniques in Spindle Turning or some spindle-turning experience

Learn. Students will get a quick refresher in fundamental chisel and gouge spindle-cutting techniques and developing an eye for making the shape desired.  Using these techniques, turners cut wood efficiently and leave a smooth accurate surface in their work.

We learn how to use the bevel gracefully to guide the knife edge along a smooth curve and why this technique allows such smooth tool control.  Additionally, we will learn to cut a hollow in end-grain using both gouge and scraper.

We sand to perfection and add a quick oil finish to bring out the luster of your work.
