6.2 Tool selection

Successful wood turning does not result from high speeds,
but rather, from the correct use of turning tools.
A perfect and sharp wood turner tool is a precondition for
professional wood-turning.
Major tools:
Gouge (A, Fig 16), used for rapidly cut raw wood into round
stock, for turning bowls and plates, for turning beds, coves
and other detail (Fig 17).
Scraper (B, Fig 16), used for diameter scraping and to
reduce ridges.
Skew Chisel (C, Fig 16), used to make vees, beads, etc.
(Fig 18). The bevel of skew is parallel to the cut.
