English Woodturning #344

In issue 344 of Woodturning magazine we have lots for you to enjoy. In Projects, Pat Carroll makes a platter with a carved rim; David Springett turns a novelty ‘Singapore ball’; Jason Breach makes a challenging and unusual shaped box; Ian Woodford creates a useful twine holder; Guilio Marcolongo shows Emiliano Achaval how to create his signature box with off-centre turned lid; and Chris West explores chain link inlay design.

In our Techniques section, Richard Findley experiments with alternatives to ivory; Mark Sanger continues his work on cross-grain bowls; Les Symonds takes an in-depth look at the spindle roughing gouge; Andy Coates tries out more unusual methods of holding work on the lathe; Kurt Hertzog answers readers’ questions; and Mark Palma shares his tips on turning better plates.

In Features, Ray Blake tells us about his woodworking journey and Pete Moncrieff-Jury explores the tricky subject of commenting on other people’s work.

As well as all this, we also have our usual Leader from the Editor, Community News and a sneak peek of our next issue
