About this product
Turning Decorative Bowls is an exciting title containing 16 inspiring woodturning projects created by one of the UK’s leading turners. The book is compiled from the archives of Woodturning Magazine and was first commissioned as a set of challenges from late editor Mark Baker to Richard Findley to stretch his skills, creativity and ingenuity. These projects showcase Richard attempting to master new and innovative techniques. The projects increase in complexity from simple bowl turning to incorporating decorative techniques such as airbrushing, resin, brass wire inlays and pewter rims. Richard shares how he tackled each challenge from start to finish, including the struggles as well as the successes. His stories will inspire novice and experienced turners alike.
