Turning a Finial Out of a 2 x 4!

 

Here's another interview that we got a chance to do at the this years The Woodworking Show in Atlanta, GA. 

In this video we interview Mark Sillay.  Mark is a member of the Georgia Association of Woodturners.  He also teaches at John C. Campbell Folk School in Brasstown, NC. 

Mark uses a unique grind on his spindle gouge and shows how he sharpens it.  If you've never seen the Jool Tool sharpening system, you're going to be impressed.  We have a whole separate interview with the CEO of the Jool Tool in an up coming interview.

After sharpening his spindle gouge, Mark proceeds to cut a very delicate finial out of a piece of 2x4!  You gotta see this to believe it.

Enjoy!
