About

As either a novice turner or experienced turner, you will discover and learn the myriad uses of a time-honored woodturning tool, the skew. As you progress through learning peeling, planing and V-cuts you will develop skills to turn beads, shallow coves and other shapes for two projects to be completed during class. The benefits of including a skew in your work will become apparent, especially the smoothness of the cuts, efficiency and time saved sanding.

Details

A $10 materials fee, included in the price of this class, covers everything you'll need.

Prerequisites

  • You must have completed Intro to Woodturning (or have equivalent and current skills).
  • Contact Jamie Straw at wood.turning@bainbridgebarn.org no less than seven days before this class if you feel you have the skills required but have not taken the prerequisite BARN classes. A private skills review will be scheduled.

Class Policies

Ages 14 and up are welcome.  

Instructor
Tim Larson

Tim started turning wood in May of 2020 and rapidly fell in love with all aspects of woodturning. He turns everything from tops to bowls, balustrades, boxes, and mini-goblets and excels in multi-axis turning and use of a skew and a French bedan. He also makes and sells custom bass guitars, the necks of which are turned on a lathe. He is the former president of OPCAAW, a local chapter of the American Association of Woodturning; has taught woodturning classes for more than three years; and currently serves as a mentor and vice president of training and education. He feels fortunate that, as a videographer for AAW, he has had unique access to some of the best woodturning artists in the world.
