I am anxious to get outside and turn something. I want to start by putting a handle on my new Thompson Bowl Gouge. Being that it's Thanksgiving and no one is open, all I have available is some pine. Will it work for a handle? If I'm not...

When I posted my last honey dipper, Steve Mawson offered me some Maple if I would like to turn a few more. I got it in almost a week ago and have been dieing to get a chance to turn it since I've really only used pine. I finally got tim...

I really want a bowl gouge. What size should I start with? Should I bother with a $20 Sears one, or get something else?

I started with a 2x3, just trying to figure out what each tool can do. Then when it got a little flimsy I cut a 1x1x20 piece off of a ceder scrap I have. It got too...

I FINALLY got my first set of turning tools in the mail. I wish I could say that all went well. The tools themselves seem to be in good condition. I think they are sharp. They're sharp enough I won't run my finger across them sideways.

Three days ago I ordered my turning tools from HF. I thought about going and picking them up, but the gas, toll bridge, and tax would have been more than the delivery charges. Yesterday I drove out to Woodcraft to check it out, ended up...

I've been looking at the knife kits where you make the handles to give as Christmas presents with cutting boards. Then it occurred to me that I have no idea how to attach the handles. Is this explained in the kit or do I need to researc...

While looking at Curt's latest cottonwood bowl, which is wonderful IMHO, the woman at the other end of my leash asked if the bowls we see on here get used or if they are decoration. My first response was that they mostly get used for so...
