This young woodturner Mostopher Dnouch can be found plying his trade in the medina of old Marrakech. With just one tool (a skew chisel) he turns a chess piece on a bow lathe that would have been a familiar sight in ancient Greece or the Pharaoh,s Egypt. See Also; ROMANIAN POLE LATHE FLASK TURNER

Unbelievable, all with his foot and only one tool (skew) no sanding. What kind of wood is that? Looks like Olive.

Dear @Thilak86,
Your comments are fully justifed and I now do things differently, The turners name is Mostopha Dnouch, he is the star, not me,
With best wishes,
Stuart King
