While a good portion of the book deals with approaches to woodturning that will be relevant to all practitioners, it is particularly successful in its suggestions for high quality turning, careful finishing, and even a number of helpful new tools and devices that the enthusiast can make for himself. There are chapters on tools, lathes and accessories, marking our and setting up, spindle and faceplate turning, long hole boring, decorative turnery, polishing and the often skimped but essential art of sanding. Each new stage is put into practice with projects, ranging from serviette rings, bowls and jars to lamps and stools. 256 photographs, 72 line drawings illustrate.
