I returned to Brook House woods in the West of England to spend time with renowned craftsman Yoav Elkayam who very kindly allowed me to film a detailed tutorial on his process for turning a wooden end grain cup on a foot powered pole lathe
I previously filmed a detailed tutorial with him on how to turn a wooden bowl from start to finish and this tutorial builds upon the foundational techniques taught in that video
