Woodturning Magazine Issue 403 Vorige editie

In issue 403 of Woodturning magazine we have lots for you to enjoy, beginning with our Guest Editor, Andrew Potocnik, who welcomes you to the issue; and looks at the challenges of using rescued wood to make a bowl.

In Projects, Andy Coates completes his dressing table set; Rick Rich and Brian Harte make a toothpick holder; John Pedley creates a laminated bowl with a pewter insert; Sue Harker turns a trio of beaded egg cups; Mike Stafford makes a snowman and family; and Mark Palma builds a container to house his selection of buffing wheels.

In our Techniques section, Richard Findley continues his skew chisel skills series by making a festive decoration for the Christmas tree; Kurt Hertzog answers readers’ questions; James N. Duxbury makes a centre finder and morse taper; and Les Symonds considers an alternative to chasing threads.

In Features, Alexander Thomson looks at the beautiful work of Croatian turner Tomislav Tomašić; Trefor Roberts, president of the National Association of Woodworkers, reveals the first-place winners from this year’s Art of Wood competition; Terry Bray reports on the AWGB International Woodturning Seminar 2024; Alexander Thomson spends a sunny day at the Bentley Woodfair in East Sussex; and Pete Moncrieff-Jury turns Christmas gifts for family and friends.

We also have a sneak peek at our next issue, plus news from the Worshipful Company of Turners and a showcase of some of the entries for the Mark Baker Woodturner of the Year Award, a competition in honour of the former Editor of Woodturning, with £4,000 worth of prizes to be won.
