Ornamental Turning

[John Saxton]

I was wondering what the depth of Ornamental Turning was here in Oz?
I haven't seen mention of it to date within these forums and though it is a specialised field,I wondered if it was a dying art?
Given the requirements of a dedicated machine/lathe to this field then I would assume that the interest here in Oz is limited, but it would be good to hear a break-down of the art for anyone looking at new prospects within the turning regime,.

Gooday.

John, there is a strong following of ornamental turners in Vic.

If you go to the clubs page on the home site and Click on Vic and then Peninsula woodturners Guild, they have some interesting articles there.

We had an Ornamental Turning Forum on the BB for 12 months and got only 1 posting other than mine. They are out there in fource they just don't seem to use the BB.
