turned wood

Rotary-carved timber pieces

Turned wood is wood that has been shaped on a lathe, a machine that spins the piece while cutting tools are applied to create symmetrical, rounded forms.

The technique produces chair legs, table spindles, bowls, and decorative balusters.

The staircase featured elegant turned wood balusters.

Turned wood objects often display distinctive rings and grooves from the turning process.
