Next up was David Nittmann, known for his Basket Illusion |
David quickly shapes a multi-centered tool handle |
The woodburner is heated and David signs his work with his customary spider logo |
Does he look pleased at beating the time limit or what? |

A closer look at the tool handle ... |
complete with the wrapping |
Michael Werner was the last of the turners in the Presenter's Showcase |
Michael, working in wet wood, quickly fashions a natural edge bowl |
|
|
|
|
|
With a power carver, he shapes the feet for the bowl |
A sanding head mounted in the lathe allows him to finish shaping the bowls feet |
The signature gets burned in ... |
and the bowl is finished in less that 15 minutes |

Some of the penturners gather in the hospitality suite for a drink and to decompress |
Friday morning I attended Stuart Mortimer's Twisted Hollow Form session |
This is a yet to be completed example of what he will make in this session |
Stuart sketches out his technique for hollowing on the chalk board |
|
|
|
|
|
The vessel is shaped in Walnut |
Stuart goes over the common sense safety rules for using the power cutter |
After marking the turning with his planned cut lines, he begins to cut the "windows" |
He progressively makes them deeper |
