Working With Wood Books

Taken from a week-long visit to the shop of legendary woodturner Bob Stockdale comes a text transcribed directly from the audiotapes produced.

Includes full color photographs of over 50 original pictures, many of which have never been seen before. Contains step by step instructions directly from Bob Stockdale on how to turn a bowl and platter, sharpen your tools, and finish projects.

This is more than just a simple "how-to" book; it's a snapshot into the life of one of the all-time masters of the craft. Through letters and newspaper accounts from the 1950's and beyond, and more, it demonstrates how Bob set the standard that all turners look up to today.
