David Ellsworth is regarded as the "forefather" of turned hollow forms. This standard work by the grand master introduces woodworkers to his sophisticated turning techniques. Easily understandable step-by-step instructions and razor-sharp photos show how Ellsworth makes bowls, natural-rim bowls and hollow vessels. For anyone new to the lathe, Ellsworth has expert tips to get you started. Advanced woodturners will appreciate the advice on surface treatment, tool making and sharpening. The chapters on design and healthy posture while turning make the book particularly unique. A work that should not be missing in any turner's library.
