The spinning Top is quite a basic woodturning project and is a very good project for beginners who are just starting out. All turning aspects of this project are relatively straight forward but will require a lot of care when parting off the piece from the lathe. The material selected for this project is maple, however other hardwoods such as mahogany, ash or black walnut would also be suitable.
