Seeing the tools in creative action is a great way to learn how to use them and their capabilities. This video shows the use of EWT tools while finishing an already roughed out bowl- If you are in the Baltimore MD area this coming weekend, stop in at the Woodcraft store and catch this great demo by David Welch! https://www.woodcraft.com/pages/store/baltimore?srsltid=AfmBOor9jiSeqV1Fz_JMQGbEEq8FQjjSktp4fKfeqMwWqFnNf1brKFrl @Jordan Martindale New Turning Items- Ron Brown is working on a new bandsaw circle jig that should be useful if you do "Bowls From A Board" This product should ship on or around August 1, 2025. Check out Ron's website https://www.ronbrownsbest.com/ Everything Else- I've committed (or maybe should be) to doing a demo at the local turning club in early August. I always try to do something a little different than just turn an item. The demos are scheduled for about 1 hour so it is challenging to come up with something unique and doable in the limited time frame. My plan is to show how to do the John Beaver "wave bowls". These bowls take me several days from start to finish. Using several bowls, in various stages of completion, I think I can do an interesting demo; especially since both types of bowls start out with the same operations. I have created 4 Sycamore bowls- 3 as part of the demo and 1 is a finished recessed wave bowl (I have a protruding wave bowl, too). The center bowl is at the point where the decision is made to create the recess or protruding wave. The "wave" isn't glued so folks can see how the pieces are held during turning This bowl will be used to explain how the protruding wave is created This bowl will be used to show how the inside of the bowl is finished. This one is glued together but not finish The finished bowl is on the lathe now and getting a Poly bath. Once it dries, I'll finish off the bottom to reshape the foot to get rid of the dovetail recess. Safe turning

Click on the calendar for the link to the interactive page. The Easy Wood Tools Detailers are typically used to create fine lines on a turning. They can also be used to shape tiny details in objects like finials. The Detailers come in two configurations. The Easy Detailer, which uses the standard Ci4 cutter or the negative rake Ci4-NR cutter And the Easy Micro Detailer, which uses the Ci7 cutter or the negative rake Ci7-NR cutter This short video from Craft Supplies USA demonstrated the Easy Detailer This video, from Tracey Malady uses the Easy Detailer and Micro Detailer to help shape a finial- When using this tool, the best surface is created by having only one side of the cutter in contact with the material, at a time, as the cutter goes deeper into the turning.
