Sharp tools good tool control keeping a consistent bevel contact with all tools while using slicing cuts. A busy day so I’m wishing everyone a happy Easter Weekend I’ll be getting so training for our charity walk and enjoying an extended break so see you all Wednesday. | The woodturners | Facebook

Sometimes you have to stop the lathe just to see how good the finish is straight off the skew. Kiln dried Oak and that finish is silky. The shavings are fun as well. | The woodturners

Every now and then, before sanding, I like to stop the lathe a check the finish off the tools is good. This pine newel to photo shows how even softwood cuts beautifully with the correct technique. #woodturning #woodturner #pine #newel #bespoke #stairs | The woodturners
