Woodturners Think Globally And Go Locally
Think global and go local is a phrase that is often used by people considering the food they buy but it also one that can and often does work of woodturners as well. What we put on a wood lathe can travel a short distance from home or come literally from around the world. In addition it may be from endangered areas or from sustainable forests. Good care of our planet applies to the wood we turn as well as the food we eat.
Wood in its myriad forms is found almost everywhere in the world with the exception of deep deserts and the frozen Arctic. Today there is a concern that some of our forests are becoming depleted with over cutting for wood and fibre usage, deforestation for urban development and slash and burn agriculture in the rain forests. At the same time it has been acknowledged that some of the most beautiful woods in the world are found in the endangered areas.
Woodturners like to work with exotic woods as do cabinet makers and the like. However, very little of the world's wood is used by woodturners and other fine wood workers. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN in 2001 of the 115.7 billion cubic feet of round wood or trees consumed in 1999, 55 percent was used as fuel, and most of the other 45 percent for industrial purposes. Those purposes include lumber, paper, plywood and simply other. Very little of it makes it to the woodturners and fine woodworkers of the world.
Even with that said, how we use our small percentage makes a difference in how we view and live with the world. Much of the hardwood that gets burned every year is highly figured. If we encourage our local wood cutters to be on the lookout for such wood, we can rescue it from the fires and use it for the lathe. Still more of our urban wood that is cleared from parks and people's yards finds its way into landfills. Saving it for the lathe rescues that wood and negates the need for more expensive wood cut purposely for the woodworker.
In addition, there is the satisfaction that comes from using local materials combined with the good citizenship that does not need the increasing use of fossil fuels to move that wood from all over the world. Almost all areas have local woods with great beauty. Thinking that more beautiful woods must come from exotic places is just another way of saying that the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.
Woodturners have a great opportunity to not only use local woods, but also to educate the public as the beauty of local woods as they see what can be done with them. A local use can in this case have global implications.

On May 24, 2026, the production base of JSWAY CNC COMPANY welcomed teachers and students from Banfu No. 1 Middle School, Zhongshan City. This event combined campus education, family support, and the social responsibility of enterprises in Banfu. As a benchmark enterprise in the field of intelligent manufacturing in Zhongshan, JSWAY CNC COMPANY opens a door for students to enter the gateway of modern industrial civilisation.
The modern industrial system of the Banfu Industrial Park is being built at an accelerated pace, providing a continuous stream of momentum for the upgrading of intelligent manufacturing in the Greater Bay Area. As a “machine tool” enterprise — a true mother machine of industry — JSWAY CNC COMPANY resonates with the same frequency as the new industrial city of Banfu. By coming to JSWAY, the students, parents and teachers of Banfu No. 1 Middle School can experience the authentic face of high-end manufacturing.
In the workshop of JSWAY CNC COMPANY, Swiss‑type lathes ready for delivery undergo rigorous pre‑shipment inspections. Every machine must pass three levels of inspection – self‑inspection, cross‑inspection, and specialized inspection – followed by online laser inspection and finished‑product running‑in testing, before it can be loaded onto trucks bound for customers. The laser interferometer scans the guideways, the Renishaw ballbar checks roundness, and the coordinate measuring machine (CMM) touches every reference surface – only when all data show “green light” is the machine allowed to be shipped.
In the field of machine tool manufacturing, a well‑known saying goes: “Only a precise mother machine can produce precise machine tools.” As the “industrial mother machine,” a machine tool’s own manufacturing accuracy determines the precision of the parts it can produce. Over nearly two decades, JSWAY CNC COMPANY has forged a path toward quality based on the principle of “building top‑level machine tools with top‑level mother machines.”
