The skew chisel can be a mystifying turning tool, so Joe Larese joins BCC again for a one-day workshop designed to develop confidence using the skew chisel for spindle turning. Starting with a peeling cut, then a long point down “V” cut, each exercise builds on the previous cut. Illustrated handouts will detail each of the exercises and will include tips on skew selection, tool geometry, presentation and sharpening. Following a logical progression, more advanced skills will be demonstrated including planing, shearing, parting and even cove cutting with a variety of different skews. Participants will make a grooved kitchen mallet with the skills they learn. A studio/materials fee of $15 is due at time of registration.

BCC's turning studio is state-of-the-art and is equipped with all the tools you will need for this workshop. You are invited to bring your own gouges if you have them.
