Woodturning is the craft of using a wood lathe with hand-held tools or machinery to cut a shape that is symmetrical around the axis of rotation. In pre-industrial England the skills needed, similar to operating a potter’s wheel, were sufficiently difficult to be known as “the mysteries of the turners’ guild.” The archaeological record of woodturning is limited to illustrations because wood is a fiber prone to rot, but Ancient Egyptian monuments illustrate a strap used by a helper to rotate a lathe while another worker cut the wood. The Chinese, Persians, Ancient Romans and Arabs all had variations of the bow lathe, which continues to be used up to the present day. Between 500 and 1500 A.D. turned wooden vessels were the most commonly used bowls and cups for most of the population of Europe. The style of the turned legs and the small space beneath the top without a drawer indicate that this piece was likely for decorative use.
