This handsome book, by talented woodworker & teacher Chris Pye, provides background & introduction to two truly disparate, yet entirely complimentary, crafts: carving & turning. Discover how simple decorative marks, through to advanced carving & shaping techniques, can enhance your turned objects & add an element of artistrty. Begin with a beautiful sun bowl & a wheat-ear breadboard. Make a vase using low relief, or a dolphin mirror with pierced relief & practice shaping skills while working on a mortar & pestle. 12 projects, arranged by difficulty, introduce more & more skills & provide progressive lessons in technique; all accompanied with friendly text, illustrations & photographs.
