Turning Wood by Richard Raffan. Published by Taunton Press, Newton, CT, Feb1994. 1st Edition 6th Printing. Paperback. No DJ. Size 4to (up to 12'' tall). Condition: Fine. 165 Pgs. ISBN 0918804248. LCCN 84-052130. Readers are introduced to the lathe, the methods of attaching wood to it, and most importantly turning tools and their proper care and use. Woodturning is arguably the most difficult woodworking discipline because proper technique is so important, a slip or moment of inattention and the project is gone, sometimes flying directly toward one's face. The author is a gifted instructor whose years as a production turner have developed a pragmatic style and an economy of motion. By mastering these techniques, one can move on to any style of woodturning. Description text copyright 2011 BooksForComfort. Item ID 24175.
