woodturning
Spinning shapework craft
Woodturning is the craft of shaping wood on a lathe, where a piece spins rapidly while the turner presses cutting tools against it to create rounded forms—bowls, spindles, chair legs, decorative objects.
The technique differs from most woodworking in that the tool stays relatively still while the material moves.
Someone who practices woodturning is a woodturner.
