Have you ever noticed that
many pieces of fine furniture feature turnings--such as table legs, bed posts,
and decorative finials for casework? Learning to turn opens a whole new realm of
woodworking possibilities. Despite what you may have heard, turning is not that
difficult, and in this three-day course we'll cover the techniques that you'll
need to add turning to your next project. To maximize practice time, each
student will have his or her own lathe.
