using pencils for woodturning

[Jon]

Woodturning with colored pencils is popular in DIY circles on the internet. Like 3D end-grain cutting boards, the final product is visually striking enough to gain solid traction on the net.




However, the multi-colored turnings can be a bit gimmicky and overbearing, even when the colored pencils are used sparingly with other segments in the finished product. They're downright beautiful turnings for children's bowls and such, but a bit gaudy for adults to stomach.

Instead of colored pencils, Tuomas Markunpoika bucks an internet trend and uses non-colored pencils, also known as "pencils".
