Stock Selection 

 
Stock for spindles should be straight grained 
and free of checks, cracks, knots and other 
defects.    It should be cut 1/8" to 1/4" larger than 
the finished diameter and may require additional 
length to remove ends if required.   Larger stock 
should have the corners removed to produce an 
octagon making the piece easier to rough down 
to a cylinder, see Figure 13. 
 
 

Roughing Out 

 
1.  Use a large roughing gouge and begin 

cutting about 2” from the tailstock end of the 
workpiece.  Place the tool on the tool rest 
with the heel of the tool on the surface to be 
cut. 

 
2.  Slowly and gently raise tool handle until 

cutting edge comes into contact with the 
workpiece.  Work to the right towards the 
end of the workpiece.  You never want to 
start at the end of a workpiece.     

 
3.  Now continue to work the rest of the 

workpiece.  Roll the flute (hollowed-out 
portion) of the tool in the direction of the cut, 
see Figure 14.   Make long sweeping cuts in 
a continuous motion to rough the piece 
down to a cylinder.  Keep as much of the 
bevel of the tool as possible in contact with 
the workpiece to ensure control and avoid 
catches.  Note:  Always cut downhill, or 
from large diameter to small diameter.  
Always work toward the end of a workpiece, 
never start cutting at the end. 

 
4.  Once the workpiece is roughed down to a 

cylinder, smooth it with a large skew.    Place 
the cutting point near the center of the chisel 
and high on the workpiece, see Figure 15.  
Touching one of the points of the skew to 
the spinning workpiece may cause a catch 
and ruin the workpiece.     

 
5.  Add details to the workpiece with skew, 

spindle gouge, etc.
