Lathe Studio: Wood Turning

Lathe Studio is a wood turning game for one thumb. A rough log spins on the lathe, the chisel follows your finger, and every slice you touch is cut down to exactly that depth while the chips fly. Each commission shows an amber outline: a chess pawn, a candlestick, a bud vase, a spinning top. Carve down to the line for stars. Cut too deep and it stays cut. Cut all the way through and the piece drops off the lathe. WHAT MAKES IT SATISFYING - Real layers: bark, pale sapwood with growth rings, dark heartwood. Every layer you reach throws chips in its own color. - Hidden cores: some logs hold amber or a brass inlay at the center, revealed only where the design lets you carve deep. - Knots: hard, dark knots slow the chisel and make it chatter. Feel them through the haptics. - The finish: tap Done and the stain soaks in while the finished piece spins down. - Your shelf: every finished piece stands on the workshop shelf. Tap one to turn it again for a better score. WOODS AND COMMISSIONS Oak, birch, walnut and cherry. Twenty commissions from a simple rolling pin to a full set of chess pieces, then the same shapes return in new woods. After every fifth commission a free block lets you carve whatever you like. MADE FOR SHORT BREAKS - A piece takes 30 to 60 seconds. Retry is instant. - Plays offline. - An optional edge snap assist stops the chisel at the line. - Settings for sound, haptics, reduced motion and reduced flashing. A calm wood carving game about precision and the pleasure of peeling wood off a spinning lathe. Contains ads. Watching an ad is always optional: it can undo your last cut once per piece.
