The Warped Woodturner (TWW) is a local artist traveling his artist's journey in a suburb of Springbrook, WI (pop. 536). TWW's creative calling is to use a wood lathe to make useless objects from locally-sequestered organic carbon for tourists to bring back to the city to give to people they had to buy something for but do not like that much. His target market is the senior citizens since their vision is not as good as it used to be so cannot see the defects as well. His marketing jingle is: “Bowls as simple as their creator”.

Day 1 of Gray February


As seen in this file photo (it is actually sunny today but TWW never lets the facts get in the way) gray February has arrived again. This means it is time for TWW to have his annual bout with Skew Alignment Disorder (SAD) where whatever he touches with a skew wood chisel goes to pot. He is hoping there is stimulus package money for sufferers of SAD but in case that never happens he will only use gouges in February.

In case you need a tutorial these are skews:
