Today I went to a Lee Valley woodturning tool sharpening seminar hosted by local woodturner
Stephen Zwerling<\/a>. <\/p>\nStephen is a founding member of the Nova Woodturner’s Guild and he creates both functional and decorative wood turnings including bowls and thin-walled vessels as a professional turner. His work is turned from native hardwoods and burls from his studio located in a 200 year old renovated barn at his home overlooking St. Margaret’s Bay, forty minutes south of Halifax, Nova Scotia.<\/p>\n
The session started off with tool sharpening theory and followed with hands-on practice using the Oneway Wolverine sharpening system.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Both the theory and practice gave an overall understanding of the sharpening process. I learned a lot. I was also thrilled to learn that sharpening woodturning tools was more tolerant than that of woodcarving tools (which I have yet to master :)) and that the Wolverine jig makes it so easy.<\/p>\n
It was a great day. Thank you, Stephen!<\/p>\n
