Square section wood is first prepared, removing the
edges with a plane, as shown earlier. |
Turn the lathe on - the pencil marks can be seen as the work rotates, although not entirely clearly. As the work is turning on the lathe, push the pencil against the wood, on the marks. As the wood rotates the pencil will produce an accurate line all the way round the wood. |
Using gouges and chisels and/or scrapers, turn the required shape. |
