Tips for
Wood Turners & Carvers
Don’t take wood cold or sub-zero temperatures into a shop with high heat and low humidity and immediately start a project. First give the wood a chance to equalize with heat and humidity in shop- preferably 2 weeks or longer.
Don’t start a project, such as a large bowl or carving leaving large areas of end grain exposed to heat and low humidity. If project cannot be completed and final finish applied, always apply some kind of temporary sealer, such as paste wax, shellac, lacquer, etc. , which can easily be removed before finishing.
A few simple precautions will insure against some of the basic issues which seem to plague many wood turners and carvers.
If you have questions reguarding these tips please contact us and we will help you to the best of our knowledge.
