Woodturner Marrakech

Traditional woodturners in Marrakech still work with hand powered lathes, controlling their tools with their feet. This young woodturner, Hassan, uses just one tool (a skew chisel) to produce a lucky charm for a waiting client. The woodturners use the same bow lathes to produce chess pieces and brochette skewer handles. Hassan's workshop is near to the restaurant Le Jardin, 5 minutes walk from Dar Zaman.
