Bowl turning. Woodturning is the craft of using a wood lathe with hand-held tools to cut a shape that is symmetrical around the axis of rotation. Like the potter's wheel, the wood lathe is a mechanism that can generate a variety of forms. The operator is known as a turner, and the skills needed to use the tools were traditionally known as turnery.
Pole lathe. A pole lathe, also known as a springpole lathe, is a wood-turning lathe that uses the resilience of a long pole as a return spring for a treadle. Pressing the treadle pulls on a cord that is wrapped around the piece of wood or billet being turned. The other end of the cord reaches up to the end of a long springy pole.

Shaving horse. A shaving horse (shave horse, or shaving bench[1]) is a combination of vice and workbench, used for green woodworking.

They are used in crafts such as coopering and bowyery.
For spindle turning, the wood is held on the lathe either by both ends (between the headstock and tailstock) or by one end only using a lathe chuck [2]. Wood is generally removed by running a turning tool down the slope of the wood from a larger diameter in the wood to a smaller diameter.
