This all-day demonstration explores how to push woodturned objects beyond traditional shapes using creative surface design and unconventional turning techniques. Attendees should gain the confidence needed to treat turned wood as a canvas for expressive, original design. Box Foundations & Alterations: Master well-proportioned, fitted boxes, then transform them through cutting, carving, texturing, and color. These concepts will be shown as applied to other turned forms as well. Irregular Blank Turning: Learn practical strategies for safely mounting, balancing, successfully shaping, and finishing a heart-shaped, wide-rimmed bowl. Surface Design & Embellishment: Explore how to develop concepts via storyboards, using power/hand tools for carving, applying milk paint and acrylics in various ways, and selecting complementary finishes.
