Small and Miniature Turning

A Complete Guide

By Ron Hampton

Small-scale turning is one of the most exciting challenges available to the woodturner. This superbly photographed collection provides novices with a thorough introduction, covering both miniature objects (scaled down reproductions of full-sized works) and small turnings. It includes everything they need to know to get started: how to season and store the wood, choose the appropriate tools (and even handmake some), and craft such beautiful items as a classic ballpoint pen, an alabaster angel vase, a miniature lathe and a spinning wheel.
