Turning Long Neck Hollow Forms
Like most of us, I was first acquainted with the lathe in high school shop class. During high school I spent my study hall in the wood shop doing various wood working projects. I continued wood working once I was established in the work force and had a little money to spend. I got back to woodturning in the late 1990’s due to one of the people I worked with as well as interest generated by the articles on wood turning that showed up in Fine Woodworking. The friend from work was both a woodworker as well as an active wood turner. This led me to join AAW in 1997 & eventually BWWT. I took the classes that the club provided every chance I got and that helped improve my results as well as correct things I was doing wrong.
My wood turning journey has been quite enjoyable as I enjoy finding the hidden beauty in the wood and I strive to make a pleasant shape out of whatever it is that I might be turning. Every piece of wood is a unique experience! I am also a proponent of spending the time to generate a fine finish. I am a product of the talented turners here at the BWWT. They have shared their knowledge and skills unselfishly with a friendly demeaner. Hopefully, I can pay some of that forward. For today we will be learning how I do a long neck hollow form. This demonstration will incorporate spindle turning, cuts into and across end grain as well as hollowing. I am hoping that there will be something interesting for everyone today.
