An
inspiring and thought-provoking guide to the art of turning delicate
bowls and goblets from freshly felled, unseasoned wood. Michael
O’Donnell, one of the foremost exponents of the technique, explains
how to harvest and store timber, and how to make the best use of
the grain pattern and other properties. “Green” turnery can be made
so delicate that it is actually translucent, and the thickness of
the wood can be gauged by shining a light through it as you work.
With clear text and spectacular color photographs, this book demystifies
one of the most admired techniques used by woodturners today. Six
popular projects are described and illustrated including, cross-grain
translucent and natural-edge bowls, end-grain bowl, natural-edge
end-grain bowl and goblet, and part-turned bowl.
