Mark is the Editor of Woodturning magazine (and others) and a fount of knowledge on related matters.

He demonstrated turning a drinking bowl, a plate in Lime, a Calabash and a carved and coloured dish.

Inhaling wood dust is a problem, which often is not immediately apparent.

Mark showed techniques for sanding using Danish oil mixed with Lemon Grass oil and Orange oil to minimise the creation of dust.

Throughout the demos he demonstrated techniques to ensure good bevel riding and the benefits of maintaining sharp tools by burnishing the cutting edges.
