This is a must have book for anyone that wants to learn the most sound spindle turning techniques and apply that learned knowledge to a furniture project. Get the video by the same name too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book with helpful comments on woodturning., January 9, 1998

This review is from: Turning for Furniture (Paperback)

This book has very good instructions on how to get good results in turning furniture parts. The chapter on table legs is a high point. I would give it a 10 just on that. I wish the author had skipped some of the basics since most buyers already know it. Nevertheless there is a lot of good material. If I come out of a book with something added to my work I consider it money well spent. This one certainly fits the bill.
