Next we will go through the process of turning a wooden bowl on a traditionally made Pole Lathe. The bowl produced will be ideal for everyday use in your kitchen, be it for muesli, soups, salads or snacks.
We will discuss technique, finish, tool sharpening, wood selection and more. If you have some experience and would like to improve technique, form/design, or finish this will also ba a good course for you as once you’re turning she can give personalized feedback.
