Expertly written by Malcolm Tibbets (a professional wood turner specializing in segmented turning), The Art of Segmented Wood Turning: A Step-by-Step Guide is a how-to manual meant especially for readers with some woodworking experience. Engineering and mathematical knowledge is not required, but familiarity with woodworking machinery and basic lathe-turning skills are presumed. The Art Of Segmented Wood Turning walks the reader through basic tips, tricks, and techniques, from knowing the properties of wood to stave construction to lamination skills, building portholes, and much more. Full-color illustrations throughout reveal sample projects and more masterpieces possible with skill and practice. The images of creations are beautiful simply to page through, and the instructions are written in a down-to-earth, no-nonsense style that is easy to grasp quickly. Highly recommended for woodworkers seeking to raise the bar of their personal expertise.
