About

To turn wood effectively and enjoyably, you need sharp tools with high-quality profiles.

Learn to sharpen gouges according to BARN protocol and gain an understanding of how to sharpen other tools (e.g., skews, parting tools, scrapers).

If you would like advice on your own tools, you are welcome to bring them.

This skills class is strongly recommended for students who have completed Intro to Woodturning or are enrolled in Intro to Bowl Turning. The class is required for any turners who wish to use BARN turning tools on an ongoing basis.
