Woodturning – Issue 412

In issue 412 of Woodturning magazine we have lots for you to enjoy, beginning with our Guest Editor, James Duxbury, who welcomes you to the issue; and turns two intersecting spheres.

In Projects, Andrew Potocnik creates a beautiful box from blackwood; Les Symonds makes the dice and a storage box for last month’s Beetle Drive project; Sue Harker turns a vase with a narrow neck; Les Symonds makes a clamp for drilling large holes into turned items; Andy Coates turns a large hollow form from the much-maligned leylandii; George Watkins turns a highly figured lace sheoak dish; Rick Rich makes a set of sewing tools for darning and mending; and Mark Palma turns a stylish food serving board.

In our Techniques section, Mike Stafford shows how to use multi-axis detailing to decorate a platter; Richard Findley starts a new series on box making by looking at the tools needed for hollowing boxes; and Kurt Hertzog answers readers’ questions.

In Features, Alexander Thomson explores the craft of pole lathe turning with Geoff Hannis; Mark Palma reports from the American Association of Woodturners 39th International Symposium; we pay tribute to the inspirational Nick Agar; and Pete Moncrieff-Jury contemplates the influences of turners at local and international levels.

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 412!
