FAQ About Woodturning Techniques
I have now been a woodturner for many years and over that time through reading books, watching videos and DVDs and trial and error I have learnt a variety of woodturning techniques.

These are the most common questions I get asked about the woodturning techniques I use.
Below are the most common questions I get asked about the woodturning techniques I use.
How do you do the lacework effect on the rims of lacework bowls and platters?

Safety Warning
Turning can be dangerous. I expect you to be fully aware of the potential dangers and to take adequate precautions. If you follow any of the advice I have given you do so entirely at your own risk and I cannot be held responsible for any injuries or mishaps that may occur.
