Carving on Turning
Modern woodturning masters embellish their work with carving
The popularity of artistic woodturning has skyrocketed in the
past decade. The modern masters featured in this article have
combined turning with carving to create stunning compositions,
of which the beautifully turned shape is only the beginning.
Ron Layport: Turning is the basis
Ron Layport commits a great deal of time to carving, yet
he considers turning to be the basis of all of his work. The
Pittsburgh, PA resident started out creating one-of-a-kind
furniture. He became interested in turning when he wanted
to learn to make round legs and feet. Ron took a weekend
workshop on turning with David Ellsworth. He learned to turn
a bowl and a hollow form, and never quite got to the table leg.
Ron fell in love with artistic turning, and two decades later, it
remains an integral part of his work.
