Synopsis

Creative Woodturning Projects presents 16 inspiring woodturning projects incorporating innovative techniques and created by one of the UK's leading turners.

The techniques explored include multi-axis turning, pyrography, carving, texturing, piercing and more.

The projects cover a wide range of practical, decorative and fun objects including:

Each process is described in detail, with explanations of how each challenge was approached and accomplished, illustrated with stunning photos of the finished pieces.
