This is the principal type of wood turning (chair and table legs, lamp stems, etc.) The turning of spindles can be done with either a scraping or cutting technique. The cutting technique, by virtue of faster wood removal and a cleaner surface, is the preferred method.

    The spur or live center is then placed against one end of the work and seated by striking with a mallet (Fig. 14). In hardwood, make a starting seat for the spur center by sawing on the diagonal lines, and drilling a small hole at the intersection.
