Treen

Small wooden objects of antiquity are known as treen. Originally turned on treadle-operated lathes, valuable decorative turned pieces were made starting in the 17th century. Turning is an ancient practice with Egyptian examples dating as far back as the twelfth century BC. In Germany, turners established their own guild independent of woodworkers in 1180, and turnery has been practiced continuously ever since.
