Wood rotation (turning) is a woodworking method, where the product rotates on a lathe called a turntable and the wood is partially removed with the help of chisels. It is a quick, accurate and precise shaping technique that cannot be achieved with other classical woodworking techniques. Weaving tools, kitchen utensils, furniture components and toys were once produced using this technique. Juraj Leporis from the town Prievidza was legendary among the producers working with this technique.

In the video preview is the profile of Eduard Hupka, awarded by the title Master of folk-art production for preserving and developing the metal discharge into wood by wood rotation technique. He produces bowls and candlesticks decorated with brass plating. This master usually chooses, prepares and dries the material himself. He works with dried hardwood, preferring plum, but he also uses walnut, cherry and ash wood. The entire process, from log processing to the finished product takes from four to five years due to long wood maturation.
