Split turning is the technique of turning something then splitting it apart, creating flat surfaces on your turned pieces. In this demonstration we’ll be making then turning a paper-glued up blank, splitting it in four along the glue seams, and using those four pieces to make the four sides of a picture frame. The demonstration will cover the best ways to split things, design considerations, different kinds of glue, woodworking machine safety, clamping techniques, and much more.
