They have a base on which to stand, and consist of long wooden spindles, where the craftsman explores and improves his technique. The use of various woods is combined. 708 2020 iain Asturian,Spanish Physical Object 459 Remates torneados 02/07/2025 18/08/2025 Graña García, A. (1985) La tornería en el occidente asturiano.

It has no practical use, but pieces of this type can be used as a finial or decoration for furniture, clocks, etc. The craftsman produces these objects to improve his technique, and as a piece of art. He keeps the production for his collection, gives it as a gift or sells it. The object was made on a continuous electric lathe. Once the piece of wood has been selected, it is roughed by hand and with the electric planer to obtain the square base. The piece is placed on the lathe and held with the fingers while the lathe is turning, and the narrow, elongated part is roughed out with the gouge. The idea is to try to make as fine a shaft as possible. The woods used in the making of these pieces come from prunings, fellings, and cleanings of fruit tree plantations near the workshop. The object is made using the woodturning technique, which has historically been of some importance in northern Spain. However, it is not a traditional piece from the area, but is the result of the practice and knowledge of international woodturning. The production scale is limited, as the artisan crafts these types of pieces during their free time Santiago Rodríguez Pérez TEXT
