Wood Turning

When you use a lathe to make a wood object it is called Woodturning. A piece of wood is held in the lathe while the operator carefully molds the wood into the shape they want. The objects made can be a bowls, furniture parts, game pieces, lamps or anything made of wood that a person wants to make.

Wood Turning can be broken into two types. Spindle turning and Faceplate turning. In Spindle turning the wood grain is placed in lengthwise or parallel to the length of the lathe.
Faceplate turning is when the grain of the wood is held perpendicular to the axis of rotation.
Example of what is made using these two methods of woodturning would be pens, furniture legs and spindles are turned using the Spindle method.
The Faceplate method is usually used early in the wood turning process when the wood is first brought to the lathe and the objects made are bowls, platters and other types of vessels.

Sometimes a objects is made form many different pieces of wood. This is called Segmented Turning. The object made can come out in different colors. For instance, walnut wood is real dark and can be used with a lighter color of wood to make a pattern for game boards or other wood objects.
