Wednesday's Wisdom For Woodturners October 7, 2026

Our Patriot Turners-

@RustyFN scored some beautiful maple-

There is more in his post about where it came from-

@Gerald showed us "What's On" his lathe

Check out his post to see what this is going to become!

Member @Geezer posted a question about Carnauba Wax, in the Wood Finishing forum. Thought we would share it here to get some additional input-

@Headhunter continues to refine his designs for his "bowls from a board" pieces.

More information in this post-

For The Newbies-

Sam Angelo is back on YouTube. This video covers spindle turning tools-

We are gonna stick this in the Newbie corner, this month. The "4 Ways" collaborators turn eggs. It's great spindle work/practice, as Mike peace points out. This time maybe we should call this "5 Ways"!

Expand Your Horizons-

Craft Supplies USA looks at tool handles and how you can personalize them-

Alan Stratton turns some novel pieces. Just hope he doesn't step on one of those in his bare feet!

Tim Yoder has some ideas on videoing your turning operations.
