Who: Joe Larese

Using only the ½ inch skew chisel, Joe will take a 2 inch round blank and turn a beautiful finial. By using a combination of peeling, planing and shearing cuts, Joe will develop the delicate detail that is the hallmark of fine spindle turning. Often used with a hollow form to make Holiday ornaments, Joe will also discuss ways to create simpler finials that are easy to make but still have good design.
