Mastering Wood and Pewter: How to Turn a Stunning Vase with a Pewter Inlay – Tutorial by Simon Hope

In this video, Simon Hope shows you how to combine woodturning with pewter casting and finishing to create a vase with an impressive pewter top. This special technique gives your turning projects a unique, high-quality look and opens up numerous creative possibilities.

Simon begins by turning a vase from fine American walnut wood. The dark wood provides a beautiful contrast to the pewter top that will be added later.

Next, Simon explains the process of pewter casting: He cuts pewter into small pieces, melts the material, and pours it into a pre-made wooden mold.

Simon's tips are particularly helpful for the safe handling of tools and for achieving the optimal texturing of the pewter to obtain a high-quality, professional finish.

We hope you enjoy watching and trying it out yourself!
