Woodturning Studio

The Woodturning Studio holds Roswell Firelabs' lathes, tool grinder, and turning accessories — a focused space for spindle and bowl turning, separate from the main woodshop floor. Some members turn natural wood; others work with epoxy resin in combination with wood. Both are welcome here.

Area Steward: Fred
