Working With Wood Books

Grandmaster wood artist David Ellsworth is known as the "gradfather of the wood art movement," and this long-awaited book shows how woodworkers can replicate his signature style through these techniques.

Step by step instructions, accompanied by breathtaking photography, reveal not only the practical techniques, but also the creative vision of the artist.

If you are new to the lathe, this book provides expert tips on getting started in woodturning. Intermediate and advanced turners will find a lot to work with as well -- tips on working with green wood, design, and even tool making.

Although the focus is largely on thin walled hollow vessel forms, additional discussion is devoted to open bowl forms when specific technical applications apply; sanding, interior cutting with the gouge, body movement, etc.

Also available in a Deluxe Hardcover Edition.
