Wood Turning

Absolutely — welcome to "Woodcraft: The Turning Game", where every swipe brings a piece of art to life.

🎨 Your Journey Begins on the Lathe

You’re standing in a quiet, sunlit workshop. The hum of the lathe builds as you power it up. Before you lies a rough, unshaped block of wood — maple, walnut, cherry, or maybe even exotic ebony. Your hands rest on the smooth handles of your turning tools: the gouge, the spindle roughing tool, the parting tool, and the scraper.

You take a deep breath. This is more than carving. This is conversation with the wood.

⏱️ How It Works – Master the Art of the Turn

1. Select Your Wood
   Choose from a variety of grains and colors — each with unique textures and turning characteristics.

   • Soft pine? Easy to shape, great for beginners.
   • Hard walnut? Rich grain, holds detail beautifully.
   • Bubinga or padauk? Vibrant colors, perfect for showpieces.

2. Swipe to Sculpt

   • Swipe left, right, up, or down with your finger to apply pressure and remove wood.
   • Light swipes = delicate cuts. Firm swipes = bold shaping.
   • Watch as curls of wood spiral away like golden confetti.

3. Use Realistic Tools (With Real Feel)

   • The gouge creates smooth, flowing curves.
   • The scraper levels and polishes.
   • The parting tool defines edges and separates sections.
   • Pro Tip: Feather the tool at low speed to prevent tear-out. Smooth rhythm = flawless finish.

4. Design Your Masterpiece
   Once shaped, unlock the Decoration Mode:

   • Paint with natural dyes: walnut stain, cherry glaze, gold leaf.
   • Add laser-etched patterns — floral, geometric, or even your name in calligraphy.
   • Stick on hand-crafted decals: birds, mandalas, stars, or whimsical animals.

5. Sell Your Art
   Display your finished piece in the Gallery of Craft.

   • A simple bowl? $25
   • A lidded box with inlaid mother-of-pearl? $120
   • A spinning top that balances perfectly on a fingertip? $300
   • Perfect symmetry = higher value. Imperfections cost you money.
