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.
