The foundational work on the fascinating art of turning. The author describes the setup of the lathe, the necessary tools and their handling, as well as everything important about wood selection. This is followed by preparing the blanks, marking and measuring, mounting on the lathe, and sharpening the tools before the actual turning can begin. In the sections "Long Wood Turning," "End Grain Turning," and "Cross Grain Turning," the fundamental techniques and typical projects are thoroughly demonstrated with step-by-step illustrations. At the end of the book, there is a chapter on surface treatment. Over 850 photos and drawings illustrate how to hold, sharpen, and use turning tools, hollow elegant vessels or natural edge bowls, and cut threads.
