About
As either a novice turner or experienced turner, you will discover and learn the myriad uses of a time-honored woodturning tool, the skew. As you progress through learning peeling, planing and V-cuts you will develop skills to turn beads, shallow coves and other shapes for two projects to be completed during class. The benefits of including a skew in your work will become apparent, especially the smoothness of the cuts, efficiency and time saved sanding.
Materials
A $10 materials fee, included in the price of this class, covers everything you'll need.

Timothy Larson
Tim Larson started turning wood in May of 2020. In a very short period of time, he rapidly fell in love with all aspects of woodturning. He turns
everything from tops to bowls, balustrades, boxes, and mini-goblets and excels in multi-axis turning and use of a skew and a French bedan. He also
makes and sells custom bass guitars, where the necks are turned on a lathe.
Tim is the former President of OPCAAW, a local chapter of the American Association of Woodturning, has taught woodturning classes for more than
three years, and currently serves as a mentor and VP of Training and Education. He feels fortunate that, as a videographer for AAW, he has had unique access to some of the best woodturning artists in the world.
