Turning Green Wood by Michael O'Donnell


An Inspiring introduction to the art of turning bowls from freshly felled, unseasoned wood.


Turning Green Wood is the latest edition of this best-selling title. In

this inspiring and thought-provoking guide, Michael O’ Donnell, one of

the foremost exponents of the technique, explains how to harvest and

store timber, and how to make the best use of the grain pattern and

other properties.




Turning green wood can be made so delicate that it is actually

translucent, and the thickness of the wood can be gauged by shining a

light through it as you work. Using clear text and spectacular

photographs to show exactly how this is done, this book demystifies one

of the most admired techniques used by woodturners today. It also

features six inspirational projects to make, including: cross-grain

translucent bowl, cross-grain natural-edge bowl, end-grain bowl,

natural-edge end-grain bowl, natural-edge end-grain goblet and

part-turned bowl.
