New Turning shows how a classic craft is interpreted in a modern way and that turned objects can have a clear and cool design. The book introduces traditional turning techniques and describes step by step how beautiful and elegant shapes can be created from raw wooden planks. Each technique is illustrated with many photographs that show all the movements from the perspective of the turner. This way, beginners can also understand the tips and tricks of the experienced turner Helga Becker. 18 projects to replicate, each supplemented with ideas for other objects, inspire readers to try their hand at the lathe and rediscover their passion for the material wood.
