Following on from the success of his 1993 book "Woodturning Wizardry", the author has produced 20 more detailed projects which show how to turn the most extraordinary objects, including faceted boxes, eccentric and oval bowls and Faberge-style eggs. These projects will intrigue every woodturner: the pieces are obviously not impossible, but they certainly are improbable; they look difficult, but with the author's tuition and his secrets disclosed they are within the scope of any hobbyist. The book contains meticulous instructions, photographs and detailed line drawings. Introductory chapters cover woods, tools, jigs and chucks, and also include making your own tools for oval turning, eccentric latticework, facet turning and oval turning.
