A turnery workshop does not need to be a big one. It is more like a family business in Bago. The minimum work force is about ten workers-five turners and five who do finishing work. Although woodcarving is a more popular handicraft than turnery, it is the latter craft from which many small Myanmar souvenirs are made.
