  Intended for beginners or improving woodturners, this book offers a solid grounding in basic woodturning skills and then explores and demonstrates diverse and advanced applications of these skills, covering between-centres and bowl turning. The practical, detailed approach is supported by colour photographs and line drawings. There are chapters on safety, wood and seasoning, tools and chucks, sanding and finishing. There are 12 introductory projects described in step-by-step detail, demonstrating how to refine woodturning skills, and three further projects which tackle more complicated pieces with an introduction to advanced and decorative finishing methods.
