Part of the problem is that woodturning, unlike most other crafts, is defined by the technique that is used rather than the material i.e.: glass, metal, ceramics and woodworking. Those people working in wood, making lathe based art (perhaps lathe based is only their perspective) broadens the possibilities of what can be done on the lathe. There are always articles on turning projects, this month a rattle, the cremation urns, and others. Perhaps in careful viewing of the work that you don't consider turning, there is a single design element or technique that would be useful in your work, it is to easy to reject it out of hand.
