The authors have developed a novel approach to woodturning using thin, narrow planks of wood (usually of little use to woodturners) to produce hollow, twisted vessels. This title describes this turning method, providing 14 designs that are accompanied by illustrated step-by-step instructions as well as a gallery.
Items like spheres within spheres can be made with basic wood turning skills. This book shows you how. 3-D illustrations show views of work in progress, making the instructions even easier to follow. The introductory chapters describe the equipment required and give advice on wood selection, setting out the work, and workshop health and safety.
