Come and learn how to combine sharp metal tools with spinning wood on the lathe to create a mess of wood shavings and a few practical projects! In this class, emphasis will be placed on developing proper tool technique and control with traditional tools through practice and repetition. Through a series of simple projects (options include: rolling pins, a mallet, cocktail muddlers, and bud vases), you will learn the basic fundamentals of woodturning and understanding wood grain orientation.
