WOOD TURNING

WIGAN WOODCRAFT SOCIETY
AUGUST 3RD 2017
@ CEDAR FARM GALLERY

Members David and John joined us at Cedar Farm for a day in July. 

With a portable lathe, the crew can set up just about anywhere they can plug into. It’d take David about half an hour to create a small bowl from a block of wood. Using tools not just for cutting into the wood but also for steadying the hand. The all important factor in wood turning is keeping the carving the same as the lathe spins in rotation. The video will give you a better idea.

If you’re keen to give it a go, make sure you have a broom handy!
