Let’s have fun learning to properly use the Skew Chisel. The skew can be an intimidating tool, but with a little guidance and practice you'll be using your skew on all sorts of spindle turning projects such as tool handles, candles sticks, rolling pins and more. We will learn to round out stock, make smooth planing cuts, v cuts, peeling cuts, beads, and larger coves. Prior turning experience will be helpful.
