Turnery with Tin Inlays

Course details

  • Selecting the right wood and making use of natural features such as knots, cracks, and cavities
  • Turning the bowls while considering the pouring funnel and casting channels
  • Cutting and undercutting the grooves into the outer surface
  • Melting and casting tin or tin alloys
  • Finishing by turning, polishing, and surface treatment
Turnery with tin or tin alloys inlays will be produced using old, traditional techniques. Since the 17th century, tin inlays have adorned not only magnificent pieces of furniture, coats of arms and caskets, but also utensils such as bagpipes, rifle shafts and cutlery. The appealing material combination of precious woods and tin makes this technique ideal for all kinds of turnery.
