Sometimes the most satisfying woodturning projects aren’t the largest or most complex. Some of the most rewarding pieces are small, functional, and beautifully finished, the items we use and see every day. At Tas Turning Supplies, we specialise in project parts that help turners create tools for the table: hot bread knives, cheese knives, and bottle stoppers.

Hot Bread Knife

There’s a special joy in slicing a fresh loaf of bread with a handmade knife. The curved bow and perfectly balanced handle make it easy to cut crusty sourdough without crushing the soft crumb. Choosing a dense, beautifully grained timber elevates a simple kitchen tool into a piece you’ll be proud to gift or keep.

Cheese Knife

Cheese boards are more than food — they’re social, creative, and celebratory. Turning a handle for a cheese knife is a quick project with an immediate reward. With the right timber, even a small knife handle can become an heirloom-quality piece.

Bottle Stopper

Bottle stoppers are one of the most satisfying beginner projects. In just minutes, a scrap of timber transforms into something functional and elegant. Perfect for gifts, parties, or your own collection, bottle stoppers showcase the beauty of the grain and the precision of your turning skills.

Each of these projects is practical, quick, and fulfilling, offering a sense of accomplishment that mass-produced objects cannot. With our carefully sourced components, blades, ferrules, and hardware, you can trust us for the quality of the blade and focus on the part that matters most: turning timber into something beautiful, useful, and memorable.

Whether you’re a seasoned turner or just starting, these small projects are a reminder that woodturning is about creating things you’ll actually use, gift, and love.
