About the Course
This class focuses on establishing and refining the push cut style of bowl turning. When mastered, the push cut allows for a single smooth pass from the bottom to the top of the bowl with no torn grain, a pleasing curve, and no stress or strain on the body.
New turners can expect to create a solid foundation of knowledge and skill with this course. Turners with experience can expect to refine their techniques in order to achieve a more repeatable perfect cut. The goal for all is to achieve the best cut from the gouge, whether on wet or dry wood – to spend more time turning and less time sanding.
Reviews:
Ashley Harwood has done a very good job of going through each step of how to turn a bowl. I have been turning for a number of years but I learned a great deal from her instructions. Most of the work I do is segmented woodturning but her techniques can apply to that as well. No matter how long you have been doing something I always feel you can always learn more and her videos brought my work to the next level.
Well done. I felt is was very informative, heavy on detail, and very professionally executed. Thank you both for the hard work and time you put in!!!
Excellent presentation.
