Adapted from a series of articles in Woodturning Magazine, this crafter's resource is the first to address the blending of carving and turning. Featuring more than a dozen projects, the discussions introduce woodworkers to the many ways carving turned objects can enhance and beautify household items. Carving styles covered include relief carving, carving in the round, and piercing, and step-by-step instructions show how to add decorative marks to a bowl, transform a plain breadboard with a simple design, apply lettering to a curved surface, and add low-relief carving to bedposts. Carvers will delight in finding how easily turned surfaces can be carved, and turners will welcome new horizons for decorating their projects.
