5.0 out of 5 stars Earrings & Pins: Easy, Fun and Unique
64 pages, full color, 20 page gallery. Step by step color photos w/ instructions for making earrings and pins. Judy's basic idea is turn a shallow/thin bowl, saw it into pieces on the scroll saw, sand the edges on a spindle sander, decorate the pieces with paint (optional). Add jewelry findings and jewelry making beads, with one or more of the wooden pieces to...

1.0 out of 5 stars Poorly organized, unedited one-trick pony

Instead it is a poorly organized series of photos and captions showing one artist's one technique for making one item: pie-shaped earings.

This review is from: Turning Wooden Jewelry (Schiffer Book for Woodworkers) (Paperback)
64 pages, full color, 20 page gallery. Step by step color photos w/ instructions for making earrings and pins. Judy's basic idea is turn a shallow/thin bowl, saw it into pieces on the scroll saw, sand the edges on a spindle sander, decorate the pieces with paint (optional). Add jewelry findings and jewelry making beads, with one or more of the wooden pieces to create earrings and pins. I love doing this, it's easy, fun and the earrings don't even have to be duplicates. What a great idea.

This tale cold be told in a one-sheet: Turn a series of small, concave plates. Cut them into varying pies shapes & curves. Glue them back together in funky ways with earing posts. That's it. There is no more. Read it in one siting and returned it the next day. Trying another author on this subject and hoping for more depth & ideas.
