Spindle turning
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Spindle turning is a woodturning method referring to a piece of wood on a woodlathe that is being turned on its center axis between the headstock and tailstock of the lathe. The wood is generally removed by running a turning tool down the slope of the wood from a larger diameter in the wood to a smaller diameter.
Spindle turning is the method used for items such as chair and table legs, lamps, cues, bats, candlesticks etc. i.e. long and thin objects.
