Frequently asked
questions

#1 What is a handcrafted turning?
A
handcrafted turning is a project that is made on a lathe by a
craftsman using hand tools to form a shape while the machine
spins the wood. This method of turning objects from rectangular
to round has been used for hundreds of years to make furniture
parts, bowls, platters and - in fact - anything round in
shape.
Note:
No two pens are exactly alike. They are unique and beautiful by
nature.
#2 What
is Burl Wood? Burl (lignotuber - from the Latin for "woody
swelling") is a large, dense, heavy,

compressed grain figures, when sliced, make them ideal

material on the finest of wood
