Wood Turning
Explain In Detail The Art Of Wood Turning
Wood turning has come of age. The last 10 years have seen a tremendous increase in the number of people interested in the craft-from hobbyists turning in their basement shop to professionals making a living with their lathes.

Wood turning as an art form began in the 1940s with the likes of Bob Stocksdale, Melvin Lindquist, Rude Osolnik, and the late James Prestini. Although working independently, they were pursuing the same goals: refined and elegant turned wood objects, whether functional or purely decorative. The 1970s and early'80s saw a new generation of turners willing to push the boundaries of what was esthetically acceptable and technically possible: Mark Lindquist turning spalted wood and using chain saws to produce sculptural objects; David Ellworth pioneering the use of bent tools to produce thin-walled hollow turnings with incredibly small openings; Bill Hunter carving and sculpting the outside of vessels after the piece was turned.
The American Association of Woodturners was formed in 1985. These days, an annual symposium of the AAW provides easy access to information and instruction for anyone interested in the subject. Workshops around the country as well as books and video tapes, also fulfill the same role.
I have been supporting myself and my family as a full-time wood turner for the past eight years, selling my work through galleries and craft shows, and teaching wood turning throughout the United States and several other countries. Although I teach bowl turning, the work that I do is primarily hollow-turned vessels featuring carved and textured surfaces. They are turned from green wood, with the grain oriented parallel to the axis of the lathe, also known as spindle turning. This provides more stability as the wood dries.
There are many valid approaches and ways to turn wood, and I would like to offer just three basic rules to help aspiring turners:
1. SHARP TOOLS: Not only are sharp tools much more effective, they make turning a lot more fun! A large percentage of the problems you experience will be directly caused by tools that are not as sharp as they should be.
2. TURN: There is no substitute for time on the lathe. Experience counts.
3. HAVE FUN!-Don't be so serious that you can't enjoy the process. Turn just for the joy of turning, improving your skills and making shavings, knowing that you don't have to produce a finished product every time you turn.Visit Woodworking Plans Website for more woodworking articles...
