“We’re thrilled to have Chris visit our store, says Rockler store manager, Lee Iacopetti. “Both our staff and customers are eager to pick up new tips and techniques. And for those who haven’t tried wood turning before, it’s a great opportunity to see what it’s all about.”


According to Iacopetti, wood turning is a growing hobby. “Access to the specialized tools and supplies needed to get into turning has improved in terms of both availability and cost,” says Iacopetti. “We’re seeing many more new customers coming in buying lathes and turning blanks. We’ve responded by increasing our assortments. We now carry hundreds of turning blanks, hardware and supplies to make everything from bowls to pens.”
