How To Do a Woodturning Inlay For Beginners l Turning Projects

In this video, watch as I transform a beautiful piece of cherry wood into a mesmerizing hollow form on the powerful Harvey T60S wood lathe. Using carbide woodturning tools from Easy Wood Tools, I shape the piece with precision. For decoration, I incorporate dazzling abalone shell, Dragon’s Eye opal from Easy Inlay, and UV resin to create a truly unique and eye-catching design.

To bring out the natural beauty and enhance the finish, I use Yorkshire Grit abrasive paste and Hampshire Sheen high-gloss finishing wax for a professional, polished look. Whether you’re a seasoned woodturner or a curious beginner, this project is packed with tips, techniques, and inspiration. Don’t miss it!
