Our special selection of turning blanks for the lathe aficionado. Woodturning (a.k.a. turnery) is the art of carving wood into a round shape with radial symmetry. This is achieved using a lathe to spin a block of wood against hand-held carving tools. Different tools can help produce different forms. One who practices this craft is called a turner or woodturner. Woodturning can produce candlesticks, tool handles, bowls, lamps, ornaments, furniture legs, and more. Your imagination is the limit!
