Waney edge
Given that a waney edge may either add or detract from a penultimate finish to ones pride and joy and of course what a person might derive as a comfortable and optimum completion to a well defined piece of woodturning, Is there out there amongst the woodturning fraternity a sense of proportion to the amount that should perhaps be left as true or residual bark in the finish of the piece in relation to the size or do most feel that it is up to the individuals taste in perspective.
I have been turning for a number of years but not with finishing with a waney edge so would appreciate any input from you folk out there.
CheersJohnno

Gooday.
John, it is hard to define as to how much bark you leave on a piece. I guess that it boils down to personal preference and sometimes what looks "right". I notice that most who do this work generally leave only a little.

Beg, borrow or steal acopy of "Turned Bowl Design" by Richard Raffan. He has quite a few examples in there.Regards. John H.

I'm with Mal!. But doesn't penultimate mean "second last"?

Gooday.
A wane or waney edge is an edge that still has the bark on or is "au naturale" without bark. It is usually associated with slabs of timber i.e bark to bark or wane edge.
Hope this helps.

I thought a waney edge referred to the edge of any board being thinner than the other edge, including, of course, natural edges as above.

Gooday.
Sunshine, I am not an expert on anything, I just know where to look
"When a board has one edge with bark on it or the brown edge beneath the bark, it is called waney-edged. In a few cases this edge may be used as a decorative feature, but normally the faulty edge has to be sawn off."
pp24, The Home Woodworker by Julian Worthington.
"The outside of a log is no use for general woodwork. Usually, the bark and the cambium layer under it should have been removed, but for decorative outside woodwork these outer layers may be retained giving a board with a waney edge."
pp10-11, Practical Carpentry by Percy Blandford.
Rick, I have never heard waney or wane applied to timber to mean other than that above.BUT I have been wrong before.

Thanks ,especially for your enlightening input.The question came up because I see so little of a Waney edge employed in this medium,and amongst the local fraternity.You are entirely correct in your description for example there are a lot of crafts people that are leaving a waney-edge on dining and coffee tables these days and it dose'nt detract from the intended appearance.
Cheers
