How to Turn an Egg
By Curtis Turner
Round Rock, TX

With Easter right around the corner, we thought we would rerun this 'Classic Curtis Turner' column on how he turns an egg on the lathe.

One benefit of turning wooden eggs is the sheer practice of tool control it requires of the turner. Yes, the first few eggs will be a scrambled mix of mistakes. (Sorry, I couldn't resist the pun.) But at least you are practicing with small bits of wood, and not wasting larger blanks.

This month we feature the work of Jim Marx of St. Louis, MO. Jim suspects working with a lathe must be in his blood, as his grandfather operated a metal lathe for more than 50 years. The many colors and natural designs of wood grain are intriguing to Jim, and he likes to show these off in his beautiful woodturnings.
