Woodturning Process

Here are the steps I take to create a finished piece:

  1. Harvest logs locally
  2. Split logs through the pith with chainsaw
  3. Take split piece to Bandsaw and make us round as possible
  4. First turning, which creates the basic shape, but most thicker than the finished article
  5. Dry piece for 3 to 6 months
  6. Finish to the desired thickness and followed by sanding and application of  finish
