HANDS-ON. TURN BEADS AND COVES. Our bowl turning instructor, Michael Boyle, has come up with a new and awesome class that will help you learn the proper way to turn Beads and Coves. You will turn a Shop Mallet. Beads and Coves are the two fundamental designs used in all forms of turning. They are used to decorate all types of woodworking projects like bowls, candlesticks, tools handles and even finials. A finial can dress up the lid of a turned bowl or a lidded box. Students will learn turning techniques, tool selection, wood selection and finishing details. Traditional tools are recommended to cut the fine details but, carbide tools are welcome.
