The medieval art of woodturning, common in England, has recently caught the attention of the rest of the woodworking world. Moving beyond the staple table legs and banister rungs, this detailed tutorial shows how to shape bowls, vases, and other works of art. Close-up photography and detailed diagrams enhance in-depth explanations of each technique, including gluing, spindle turning, cupchucking, threading, turning, and finishing. The historical background of the art is covered and attention is given to historic techniques, as well as more recent methods.
