Questions & Answers
Q:
I am a woodturner and a member of the Chippewa Valley Woodturners Guild.
I would like the listing of the FDA-approved wood finishing products such as oils, etc. Thank you,
Dennis from WI
A:
The topic of food safe finishes is a recurring theme for many woodturners and woodworkers who envision placing their projects in contact with food, drink, or any materials meant to be consumed. Some of the concerns raised about whether something is "food safe" or not stem from invalid assumptions about the nature of the available finishes used to protect the wood, accentuate its figure, and reduce infiltration of moisture and other materials from the food into the wood. While in their liquid state, most finishes should be considered "toxic" and unsafe for human consumption due to the presence of solvents used to carry the actual finish into or onto the wood surface. However, once the finish has "matured" to its final state, many would argue that nearly all finishes are "food safe," specifically with regard to direct contact with food, such that no undesirable chemicals will leach out of the wood and finish into the food material being consumed. If you don't eat or drink the finish, it's food safe!

Dear Cyril,
Welcome to
Woodturning Fundamentals!
I am pleased to announce a new educational program, free for members of the American Association of Woodturners. It is called "Woodturning Fundamentals." Created by our Program Director, Linda Ferber, it will be an easy-to-find and easy-to-use area of multimedia materials on all facets of woodturning.
We will release new materials every other month alternating with the publishing of the American Woodturner, our journal. Between these two, there will be new materials to enjoy each month. In our content, we'll include past journal materials, specially created articles, tool and equipment reviews, educational video clips, tips and tricks, and questions & answers.
If you are an AAW member, you can opt-in for this program's announcement emails at this link. If you aren't a member, you can find out more about becoming a member of the AAW at this link.
The contributors to Woodturning Fundamentals include Nick Cook, Rob Wallace, Beth Ireland, Keith Tompkins, Mark Knierim, Joe Herrmann, Linda Ferber, and Kurt Hertzog. With materials from these folks and the 25-plus years of our woodturning educational archives, you can be sure there will be plenty of great woodturning fundamentals.
Please share this information with your fellow AAW and club members. Encourage them to participate in the program and join the AAW if they aren't already members.
We welcome suggestions for content, improvement, and questions for the Q&A in our Woodturning Fundamentals program. We look forward to hearing from you.
Best,
Kurt Hertzog

Sharpening Tip
When discussing the fundamentals of turning, proper sharpening techniques must be at the top of the list. Many problems new turners experience can be traced back to improperly sharpened tools, so in this segment, we will discuss sharpening the skew chisel. After all, what tool could be more troublesome?

Safety Tip
The Mid-South Woodturners Guild has established a Video Safety Group which posts lathe safety videos.

Stop! Don't do that! Twenty Ways Not to Turn a Bowl
-by Nick Cook
When it was suggested that I write this article, I wondered if it was because someone thought I didn't know how to turn a bowl. I was assured that I drew this assignment not because I'm inexperienced at bowl turning but rather because I have had so many woodturning students.
I have been teaching woodturning for more than 20 years, and many of the classes have been basic, for beginners, or an introduction to woodturning. You can ask anyone who has been involved in one of these classes and they will tell you that my most frequently used direction is: "Stop, don't do that!"
