Peter Wade Chasing Threads Growing up my dad loved woodworking...so I loved woodworking. My dad taught me how to do just about everything with wood from sanding to cutting to the all important measuring twice. We built kitchen cabinets and worked on finish carpentry and furniture building. But it wasn't until junior high school where the woodturning addiction started... I was fascinated by the ability to make something round. All of the woodworking I had done previously was square, but now I could take a piece of wood and make any curve I wanted. It was totally amazing and I was hooked. My wife says "...Just let the wood speak to you as your turning it...", and sure enough, it does. Sometimes you can see the grain has a little curve to it, so you just follow that. Originally I was just making bowls, round boxes... I needed to learn the skill of hollow form turning.
