Woodturning – Issue 410

In issue 410 of Woodturning magazine we have lots for you to enjoy, beginning with our Guest Editor, Mark Palma, who welcomes you to the issue; looks into some woodturning myths; and makes some wire and epoxy ferrules for turned handles.

In Projects, Andrew Potocnik combines Australian cherry ballart with resin to make a unique vessel; Sue Harker turns a large textured bowl; Rick Rich fulfils a commission for a set of greenhouse finials; Ger Vervoort comes up with an unusual design for a jewel case; James Duxbury makes interlocked vases in contrasting timbers; and Les Symonds makes a solitaire game.

In our Techniques section, Richard Findley continues his skew chisel series by making a beautiful gavel in bubinga; Andy Coates looks at box making using only a jam chuck; and Kurt Hertzog answers readers’ questions.

In Features, Alexander Thomson hears from Danielle Flowers about her journey to becoming the Mark Baker Woodturner of the Year and how she is exploring harmony in balancing opposing forces; we meet Martin Gallen of uilleann pipe maker Banba Design; in an edited extract from the updated edition of Wood Identification & Use, Terry Porter looks at the Quercus genus; and Pete Moncrieff-Jury contemplates the concept of a retired professional turner.

We also have a sneak peek at our next issue, updates from the turning community and news from the Worshipful Company of Turners.

All this and more in Woodturning 410!
