Woodturning Magazine

In issue 428 of Woodturning magazine we have lots for you to enjoy, beginning with our Guest Editor, Rick Rich, who welcomes you to the issue; makes a simple staked chair; and turns scaled-down finials for a regular client.

In Projects, Chris Redfearn makes a snowman music box; Guy Vervoort turns an extraordinary sphere box; Andrew Potocnik creates a blackwood split-turned bowl; Mike Stafford makes a lidded snack bowl; Sue Harker turns and decorates a sycamore platter; John Hawkswell makes a vase from a felled tree; and Andy Coates completes his pedestal box made from a bellani pumpkin and an uxi nut.

In our Techniques section, Kurt Hertzog answers readers’ questions; William Findley shares his tips for workshop photography; Mark Palma asks whether we make our bowls backwards; and Richard Findley completes his box-making series with a look at twisted boxes.

In Features, Olivier Fillot tells us about his workshop and gallery in the stunning forests of the French Pyrenees; we review a selection of books to add to your wishlist; and Mike Stafford considers the ‘holy gouge’.

Plus, we have a special giveaway from Robert Sorby, a sneak peek at our next issue and updates from the turning community.

All this and more in Woodturning 428!
