So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Why You Need Handmade Turned Wooden Vessels

By Kimberly Allen


The secret of making a perfect wooden vessel is using a good wood lathe. This is used to carefully cut into a shape that is specifically required. The person who does all the work must be skilled. They are usually called the turner. The skills which he has is called turnery. Handmade turned wooden vessels are now available.

They are responsible in crafting many items that used daily. The lathe was what was usually made from. The lathe is what is majorly preferred by many turners. This together with a skilled operator they would produce a work of art. This usually gifts the turner an ability to use less tools when working. The lathe can be easily carried around and they are much adaptable to any working environment. They tend to produce the best work when it comes to perfection.

Wood turning majorly gets more appeal to the people who love art. This is also appealing to those who love the qualities that can be brought about by wood. Wood lathes normally work by reciprocating. This functions by being powered by a spring. That is by rotating the wood in a counter direction. The turner works by just cutting one side of it.

This may also be powered by a bow. Its much different compared to the spring mechanism. This however does not bring much difference depending on the person operating it. When they are used by skilled hands the produce magnificent work. There has been many changes with the growing of technology of what is used to work out the whole process.

The onset technology can be attributed to the traditional means that been used over the past. One of the major changes is the use of electricity. There has been a series of changes that have been made but they have all one effect to final product. That is the reduction of time used in production. The series of pauses which are common with the traditional means are unheard of using the modern technology.

There are many aspects that have to be considered. Its usually to secure a perfect art. The skills which are to be use are usually also determined by them. The part that requires much consideration is the type of timber that is being used. The important part being considered is the type of the wood grain of particular grain. As it is usually difficult to get the perfect timber the turners are forced to work with any timber. The symmetry of the grain is the most important aspect that is being considered.

The quality of that wood also includes its moisture content. This affects the ease of cutting of that machine. They also happen to dictate the shape of the final product. This usually changes once wood finally dries up. The usually easy to cut with them being dustless and most of the skilled turners usually do this at their own advantage to produce best bowls.

Challenges that arise with the type of wood being used are usually a handful. There are voids that can be found when one is working on the wood. This rises a lot of difficulty when it comes to the modelling part.
