Biography

My father came out to visit from California in 2008 and we took a basic wood turning class at Woodcraft; we both were hooked on wood turning. I've since made or attempted to make as many different types of projects as possible including segmented boxes for Beads of Courage, lidded boxes and kitchen utensils. I love pushing my limits and learning new skills.

Making this candle holder is how I learned to use the skew and will show you how to make it with the skew and spindle gouge.
