Wood turning is such a pleasure and a satisfying art. Some think that it is easy to just remove the wood that you don't need to bring out what you want. Contrary to some, turning is a very safe art if of course, safe practices are employed. The satisfaction comes as you become more adept and that plain old block of wood takes shape. This book is one excellent way to get started turning. The publishers have put this excellent book together for the beginning wood turner. The book is written by turners Betty Scarpino, John Jordan and Bonnie Klein. The first chapter, Setting Up, tells you just about all there is to know about the wood lathe and its component parts. Sharpening the various tools has most of the basics covered nicely and there are some nice tips to make the job a little easier. Spindle turning is well covered with great color photography. The authors take us into a little more detail by showing us reeding and fluting and some other decorative skills. Faceplate turning is well covered and the final chapter will test your newly learned skills with some projects like a lidded box, a laminated plate, a beautiful goblet and more.
