 The Practicalities of Imagination March 11, 2008
J. Madden
I've discovered that woodturning books for beginners distinguish themselves from other topics by the immense number of step-by-step pictures within their covers. This book does the same thing but with a difference. It presumes you can do some basic turning. Consequently, it doesn't have the same number of pictures per project focused on documenting every small step. It demonstrates larger intervals. Where this book sets itself apart from the other dozen I own is that it shows, in detail, how to put together different woods to create the most amazing designs in the projects you turn. The photos are much smaller than some of the other books and these authors have crammed a huge pile into 96 pages. If the photos had been the size used in many other titles, this publication would have doubled in size. From my perspective, "Fabulous Turned-Wood Projects" bridges the gap for beginners allowing them to see behind the curtain and discover the "magic" steps that result in stunning outcomes by clearly demonstrating how to assemble the pieces of wood in ways you might not think of for another three years! We plan on working through all of the projects!

This book was a purchase I dont regret, but it could be better. While it has wonderful ideas and great pictures, the project instructions it gives could be more detailed with pictures that illustrate every step. There are a few projects in there, that are mostly detailed with text, and if you cant picture what they are saying, then the project becomes very difficult to accomplish. Like I said, I dont regret my purchase of this book, but it could have been done better.
