Woodturning Evolution: Dynamic Projects for You to Make

Two of the country’s leading woodturners, Nick Agar and David Springett, have collaborated to produce this new and exciting book, Woodturning Evolution. Together, they have developed a novel approach to woodturning using thin, narrow planks of wood (usually of little use to woodturners) to produce hollow, twisted vessels. This turning method is described in detail and there are 14 designs, each accompanied by fully illustrated step-by-step instructions plus an inspirational gallery. Nick Agar also describes how he uses his highly original decorative methods and artistic skills to complete the finished vessels. This is a fresh and exciting approach to woodturning that creates modern, dynamic pieces.

Nick Agar is a woodturning artist, creating large-scale, multi-textured turned-wood sculptures. In addition to exhibiting widely and appearing at international conferences both as a demonstrator and a judge, he and his work have been featured on BBC and ITV television programmes. Agar runs woodturning courses in Devon.

David Springett has been a professional woodturner for 30 years with a particular interest in more experimental work, such as the seemingly impossible pieces described in his first book, Woodturning Wizardry. He has three other books published by GMC Publications.
