About

This versatile tool is especially useful in spindle turning, can give you very smooth final cuts, and can greatly improve your efficiency. As you make an egg and spinning tops, you'll practice peeling cuts, V cuts, making tenons, planing cuts, round-overs and beads, and parting. Proficiency with the skew requires practice, but the rewards are great – it's a traditional tool used by all master turners!
