Each project--accompanied by step-by-step photos and a bill of materials--is not only designed to help woodworkers improve their skills, but also to act as a starting point for them to brainstorm more effectively about their own pieces. The exercises gradually increase in difficulty, building towards the ""Inside Out Vase,"" a sleek and elegant project pierced by four lancet windows. Along the way, turners will learn about gouge orientation, turning hollow forms, turning a ball, and many other essential woodturning techniques.

Book Description

Where does a design idea come from? And what does it take to bring it to life? This invaluable design reference for new and advanced woodturners alike answers these questions and more. In Woodturning Design, author Derek Hayes takes turners step by step through the process of design, beginning with basic principles and then moving into proportion, pattern, and form. He also addresses working with different woods, color, and decoration. Hundreds of instructional photographs and illustrations will assist readers at every turn. Although many crafters can follow clearly illustrated instructions to achieve a desired result, they struggle with adapting the design to become uniquely their own. This practical yet inspirational book will motivate turners to take what they learn here and transform wood in new and different ways.

Book Description

The Creative Woodturner is not your usual "how-to" woodturning book. It won't tell you what a chuck is, how to sharpen a scraper, or how to turn a goblet. Instead, this book is a "how-to" for unlocking curiosity, how to break the rules, and for following one's own artistic path with confidence. Designed to give readers a wide-perspective on creativity, The Creative Woodturner begins first with insightful commentary, quotes, and examples from the woodturning and art community that will both inspire and inform. In addition, the author shares his Idea Tools: questions to ask during the planning and creative process that are as important to the creation of the woodturning project as any equipment in the shop. Finally, 16 one-of-a-kind projects--from boxes and vessels to bowls and one-of-a-kind scultpures--are featured that will spark the creative mindset of any woodturner.
