If you only associate woodturning with chair legs and classic furniture the time has come to take a look at this book. Modern woodturning will show you how a classic craft can be interpreted in a modern way and what turned objects with a clear design line can look like. This book will introduce you to traditional woodturning techniques and describe step by step how raw wood may be turned into beautiful, elegant shapes. Each technique is illustrated with many pictures showing every step from the point of view of the woodturner - even beginners can follow Helga Becker's tips and tricks. There are eighteen projects, each one including ideas for other objects, that will further your interest to step up to the turning lathe yourself and to live out your passion for wood as a material.
