23 Intriguing Easy-to-Build Wood Turning Projects
 Richard Raffan has a master's eye when it
comes to turning wood. In this book, he presents 23 intriguing
woodturning projects -- rolling pins and mallets, hollow vessels,
scoops, and ladles, even a turned hedgehog. The projects range from
simple to complex, and Raffan provides you with complete
instructions with step-by-step photos and drawings. These projects
will lead you through a skill-building course in woodturning.
But this is more than a book of projects.
You'll learn how to apply Raffan's acute sense of design and
proportion to your work. Your details will be crisper, and you'll be
producing better work, faster. A photo gallery of ideas at the end
of each chapter is sure to inspire you to turn some truly unique
pieces.

 There's
no end to the splendid variety of useful objects you can turn once
you see Richard Raffan at his lathe.
In this video, you'll learn to select the wood species best
suited for a wide variety of turning projects. Raffan shows you how
to manipulate skews, gouges and parting tools to produce the whole
repertoire of wood-turning cuts, and how to recognize the structural
aspects of a project as it develops on the lathe. Raffan also shows
you how to sand and apply finishes and waxes, and he offers
important safety tips throughout the video.
