Lathe: Skew Chisel Techniques

Salvatore Mancini is a custom fabricator producing custom furniture and interior designs. He works primarily in wood using traditional techniques as well as digital fabrication. He got his start creating sets for theater productions and was inspired to pursue woodworking after restoring a wooden view camera.

Skew Chisel is an intermediate level tool that offers a wide range of cuts. This versatile tool can provide an excellent surface as well as shaping cuts.

Skew Chisel is the go-to tool for a majority of spindle turners.
