About This Workshop
The focus of this workshop is to help students develop tool control with real finesse in the creation of both face-grain and end-grain projects. By using a range of cutting techniques with traditional woodturning tools students will execute pieces with an attention to sound form and pleasing details. Emphasis will be on the advantages of traditional tools with their basic profiles as well as advanced tool modifications to improve surface quality. An essential objective for the class is to create the best possible surface quality straight from the tool.

- Understanding and using traditional woodturning tools
- Striving to develop an eye for good form
