In the first-ever Woodworker's Journal Woodturners Challenge, four turners – including American Association of Woodturners managing director Mary Lacer – each received a block of butternut. Our woodturning columnist then found out why each of them did what they did with the wood.
Walnut was the wood of choice in the second annual Woodworker's Journal Woodturners Challenge, with 10" x 10" x 2" blocks distributed to four turners who were then given complete creative license.
The turners in the third Woodturners Challenge were all members of the Women's Woodworking Guild of Indiana. Their wood? Soft maple turning blanks. Their assignment? Make something out of it!
In the fourth challenge, we combined seasoned woodturners with green wood for stunning results.
Size mattered in this fifth installment of the Woodworker's Journal Woodturners Challenge: the participants were required to create tiny turnings from a piece of wood measuring 2" x 2" x 4".
