Turnings

Woodturning is a form of woodworking that is used to create wooden objects on a lathe. Woodturning differs from most other forms of woodworking in that the wood is moving while a (relatively) stationary tool is used to cut and shape it.

Many intricate shapes and designs can be made by turning wood. Common woodturned items:

  • Furniture parts - spindles, table legs, stretchers, finials, or other furniture parts
  • Bedposts, corbels, newel posts and Queen Ann legs
