Come Join us on 27th December for our last woodturning demonstration of the year with our resident woodturner Dan Tarrant!Dan, who is affectionately known as our "resident turner" at Yandles, has achieved significant milestones in his woodworking career this year. He has been accepted into the prestigious Register of Professional Turners, a testament to his skill and dedication to the craft. Additionally, he has earned the title of Approved Tutor from the Association of Woodturners of Great Britain, recognizing his ability to teach and inspire others in the art of woodturning.
For this year's demonstration, Dan will be showcasing his expertise by guiding attendees through the process of creating a stacked set of tealight holders. This project is perfect for both beginners looking to learn the basics and more advanced turners seeking to refine their skills. During the demonstration, Dan will discuss the best types of timber to use for this project, ensuring participants understand the importance of selecting the right materials. He will also share various techniques to complete the tealight holders safely, emphasizing the importance of safety in every step of the process.
In addition to demonstrating the woodturning techniques, Dan will explore a variety of wood finishes that can enhance the beauty and durability of the tealight holders. He will discuss options such as natural oils, which can enrich the wood's color and grain, providing a warm, organic look. Dan will also cover the use of wax finishes that offer a subtle sheen and smooth feel, perfect for those seeking a more understated appearance.
Dan will guide participants through the selection process for choosing the right finish based on the desired aesthetic and functionality of the tealight holders.
This will be an informative and relaxed event and should be an enjoyable experience for all who attend.
