Wafer-Thin Green Wood Objects with Pascal Oudet

  • Tool selection and sharpening of turning tools
  • Explanation of cutting techniques with turning tools
  • Explanation of design basics and spatial feel
  • Tips for drying the grren wood objects
  • Finishing
Many woodturners have the ambition to turn vessels with a wall thickness of less than 2 mm. When working with green, freshly felled wood, the wafer-thin walls warp during the drying process and can result in bizarre vessel forms. As an introduction, the instructor will show you how to turn a wafer-thin slice before you try your luck with a bowl, a vase or a hollow form with narrow opening.
