Woodturning – Issue 426 (Current Issue)

In issue 426 of Woodturning magazine we have lots for you to enjoy, beginning with our Guest Editor, Josh Brower, who welcomes you to the issue and uses a scrap of claro walnut and some new kit from Rikon to make a phone amplifier.

In Projects, Les Symonds makes a pitcher based on upside-down design norms; Sue Harker decorates a bowl using hot-melt glue; Andrew Potocnik makes a container from Queensland walnut; Rick Rich accepts a commission to turn 57 bell handles; James Duxbury creates a second bowl in his shifted bowl series; Mike Stafford turns a rectangular bowl with medullary rays; and Andy Coates makes a box from a Bellani pumpkin.

In our Techniques section, Kurt Hertzog answers readers’ questions; and Richard Findley continues his box-making series as he recreates an antique pedestal box; and Mark Palma takes a course in basket illusion work with Karl Hansen.

In Features, Josh Brower meets James Carter, the owner of a Texas turning school and explores his signature Christmas ornaments; Alan Goodsell shares the highlights of this year’s AAW Symposium Instant Gallery; and Mike Stafford bravely explores a whole new world of wood.

Plus, there’s a sneak peek at our next issue and updates from the turning community.

All this and more in Woodturning 426!
