Wood Turning 101

Ever wondered how people make bowls, plates, posts, spindles, and more out of wood? These items were probably made on a lathe through a process called wood turning, and in Wood Turning 101 you can learn how to do this yourself!  This introductory class, limited to just three students max, gives you the opportunity to see and try wood turning first hand.  You'll make a small bowl you can finish later, while learning introductory techniques for selecting wood, sharpening tools, and how to turn properly and safely.
