In this class, Dan Douthart will demonstrate how he makes wooden jewelry on a lathe. He will start by making a pendant type necklace with a scroll chuck on a lathe. Dan, will finish the piece with C/A glue and then buff it with EEE Ultra Shine Paste Wax. He will then make a medallion type necklace using homemade fixtures for turning and finishing the piece. This piece will be sealed with C/A glue and then sprayed with Acrylic. Dan will also show how he inserts a sterling silver bale into a necklace piece. All of these techniques can also be used to make ear-rings. Many of the processes can also be used for other woodworking projects.
