Wood Turning | Padauk Bowl
In this video, I work on a bowl made of Padauk. This bowl developed over time, eventually turning out differently than I had intended. I do want to see my original idea through, so I’ll order another square bowl blank. This bowl provided great learning, even through all of the frustrations. Let me know what…

Bowl Turning | Sycamore Bowl
In this week’s video, I turn a bowl out a Sycamore blank. This project ended up killing my lathe – the motor burnt out. I was at it for a good four hours or so. My lathe isn’t all that big or powerful but I didn’t think I was pushing it too hard. I was…

Pen Turning | Palo Santo Rosewood with Antique Brass Hardware Slimline Pen
In this week’s video, I turn a straightforward slimline pen with Palo Santo Rosewood and use antique brass hardware. Sometimes, these seemingly simple designs require a bit more focus because there isn’t any room to hide small mistakes. Palo Santo Rosewood is definitely one of my favourites to work with.

I turn a curvy slimline pen in this video with Sugar Maple wood and black chrome hardware. This one took a bit more patience than last week’s and a little more attention to detail.

Pen Turning | Purpleheart with Gunmetal Hardware
I’m so glad that it’s finally getting warm enough for me to start turning pens. Making boxes over the colder months was great. Pen turning, however, is at the heart of this endeavour and I’m really hoping to make something of it. As it happens, today is the one-year anniversary of SANA Stationery & Gifts…
