Whether they' re drawn to the traditional or the innovative, the plain or the flamboyant, woodturners can expand their horizons with this storehouse of inspirational images and ideas. The emphasis throughout is on showcasing graceful and well-proportioned work, along with examples of usually overlooked styles. More than 100 pieces appear, arranged around ten basic themes: combining different woods for interesting contrast, achieving surface texture, producing paired or grouped items, incorporating other materials (such as rope or leather), fashioning the hard angles of squares and rectangles, exploring exotic woods, turning plywood, laminating work, doing off- center turning, and creating simple shapes and forms.
