Abstract: The use of wood for functional and decorative objects has engaged human craftsmanship for millennia. Among core woodworking practices, woodturning holds particular importance due to its long historical role in shaping wooden artifacts. Continuous technical refinements by contemporary artisans have transformed this practice into a dynamic field within modern wood art. Studying woodturning and integrating it with complementary wooden techniques, each with distinct structural and visual qualities, offers meaningful potential for creating contemporary works enriched with elements of authentic Iranian identity. This study examines the specific processes of woodturning, with emphasis on construction methods and the formation of ornamental motifs. Using the works of Hassan Rahmani as a case study, it investigates the evolution of woodturning and lamination techniques, identifies the essential characteristics of lamination within woodturning, and analyzes its role in generating new wooden artworks. The research also explores how combining lamination with other woodworking techniques can foster innovation in contemporary wood art. Methodologically, the study is applied in purpose and descriptive-analytical in approach, with data gathered through fieldwork and library research. The findings show that Rahmani’s lamination technique embodies significant innovations that have contributed to the modernization of wooden construction and decorative methods in Iran over the past two decades. Central to his approach is the use of thematic content and traditional Iranian motifs, which has strengthened the contemporary relevance of lamination. Moreover, Rahmani’s integration of lamination with other wooden techniques has enabled the development of new artistic forms within the field of wood art.
