Turning with Marcel van Berkel

It’s been a while, but during our holiday on Terschelling (2010) I had the pleasure of a few rainy days. It gave me the opportunity to learn from Marcel van Berkel. We made two bowls together during the three rainy days. He taught me a few new techniques during the turning of the bowls, but also how to finish the project afterwards.

One of the bowls still needs a finishing touch, the other one we’ve polished with Danish oil. After a few very useful lessons I gave Marcel a few pens and in return he gave me a piece of laburnum. I already made a few great pens with the laburnum wood.
