World of Woodturning Welcomes Woodturners
Welcome to world of woodturning a new online resource for woodturners across the globe.
I took up woodturning in late 2005 encouraged by seeing the work turned out by my fellow woodturner Chris Ashton.
Since that first time I touched a lathe to turn some Ash handles for some files I had bought my woodturning time has been intermittent to say the least with more time being spent on creating a dry workshop than turning.
One inspiration I did get was when I attended the Craft Supplies woodturning show in 2005. There professional woodturners put on some fantastic demonstrations of the art of woodturning. If you are new to this craft, I thoroughly recommend attending one of these shows.
Woodturning Is An Art Not A Science
Throughout this site you will soon find photos of my own turning together with that of other woodturners. We will also look at woodturning tools of all kinds from starter sets aimed at the novice woodturner to high quality tools for craftsman.
Feel free to tell us about your latest woodturning project or send some photos of how you turned a particular wood turning blank into an object of beauty.
