The time for Christmas gift shopping is upon us, and we here at William Wood-Write are excited to give you our top 10 best gifts for wood turners.

Gift ideas starting from $4.99

Wood working for the techie

Our Smart Phone Stand and Stylus kits comes in gold, chrome or gunmetal, and are an excellent gift for any wood turner who loves technology! Not only does the Smart Phone Stand serve as an easy, hands-free way to use your phone, the built-in stylus tip works on any device with an interactive touch screen.

Turning projects for the writing enthusiast

Would we really be William Wood-Write if we didn’t mention pen kits? If the person on your list is an avid pen turner, opt for something a little different. We highly recommend the Eros Calligraphy Set! It comes ready-to-wrap in a gift box, including pen kit, replacement nibs and ink. There’s nothing quite like trying your hand at calligraphy.

If the wood worker on your list isn’t quite so artsy, bring back a little nostalgia with a fountain pen kit instead. We love the Baron fountain pen kit. If you’re looking for a high-end pen kit, take a look at the Majestic Jr fountain pen kit. When finished, these wood pens always draw an audience, and it’s for good reason. Their classic nib is a completely different writing experience than ballpoint pens today. It also allows those who grew up learning handwriting with a fountain pen in school to show off their skill to younger generations. If you’re looking for an assortment for your lather, cruise our bundle section or our Gift Ideas section.

Turning kits for the foodie

Our Coffee Scoop kit is the perfect gift for the coffee-obsessed wood-turner in your life. And lets be honest, nights of wood turning and a cup of coffee go hand-in-hand. The kit comes in stainless steel and hardite (an extremely durable, metal-like plating made by Berea Hardwoods), and is the perfect addition to any coffee-lover’s collection. Pair this kit with one of our acrylic “Coffee Bean” pen blanks to create a truly stunning, and aromatic, coffee scoop.

If coffee isn’t their thing, our Heirloom Pepper Grinder Mechanism kit is a beautiful addition to any tabletop. The heirloom-style grinder comes in antique brass and antique copper plating’s, and is sure to be adored by any food-loving wood turner!

For the pizza-loving wood-turner, our Pizza Cutter kit is the perfect gift! The stainless-steel blade and thumb guard on these pizza cutters makes slicing pizza stylish and easy. The best part? The length of the handle can be totally customized as per their own design. Want a matching set? The Triangle 4” Pizza Spatula will complete the look.

Lathe projects for the wine lover

There’s no better gift for the wine-loving wood turner in your life than our T-Handle Bottle Stopper kit. This kit comes in bullet or cone style, and is finished in a clean chrome plating. The best part about these bottle stoppers are that the T-shaped handle can be screwed off to reveal a usable corkscrew- a wine lovers best friend!

Handmade gifts for the jewelry lover

Our Aromatherapy Necklace kit comes in chrome, gold, rose gold and satin chrome, and is an excellent gift for the jewelry-wearing wood turner in your life! Simply by adding a few drops of their favourite essential oil to the cotton wick in the necklace’s base, the wood-turner who wears this necklace will be able to turn in complete aromatic bliss. This kit comes with an adjustable 28-in chain, five wicks, an empty 2ml aromatherapy sample jar, and a black velvet gift pouch.

Our JDG Stainless Steel 2-Piece Ring Cores, when paired with one of our many ring blanks, make the perfect gifts for the ring-wearing wood-turner in your life! Coming in a variety of (full and half) sizes and widths, these ring cores can be customized with any kind of ring blank, making them the perfect gift for any jewelry-wearing wood turner. If your wood turner is just getting into ring making, opt for the Ring Starter Kit to make sure they have what they need for their next wood lathe project.

Turning ideas for the car enthusiast

Our Gear Shift Pen Kit comes in chrome, antique brass and antique pewter platings, and the mechanism design is based off a five-speed H pattern shifter and can be shifted just like the real thing!
