In this book, Helga Becker sets new standards once again and demonstrates the variety of forms and elegance that can be achieved in such a traditional craft as turning. It features five original projects and ten additional works from fellow turners, complete with detailed step-by-step photos and thorough explanations. You don't have to be a professional to take on these projects. The book is complemented by a gallery section and introductory chapters on workshop equipment, safety, design, and more.
