Fine Woodworking on Faceplate Turning

By Fine Woodworking Magazine

Back by popular demand, these classic woodworking titles from Fine Woodworking magazine are filled with first-rate information that is as timeless now as it was when first published.

Virtually any chunk of wood can be buttoned onto a lathe and made to whirl around. Knowing how to transform the whirling wood into a finely crafted plate or bowl is the art of faceplate turning. In this collection of 42 articles from Fine Woodworking magazine, some of today's best turners show you how they create everything from a drinking goblet to a matched set of bowls. You'll learn about preparing glued-up turning blanks, using the modern bowl-turning gouge, choosing a finish that's safe for food, and much more.

Since it began publication in 1975, Fine Woodworking has written about practically every aspect of the craft. The "Fine Woodworking on..."series organizes many of the articles from the magazine's first ten years into individual volumes by subject. Each book in this series offers an in-depth look at a particular aspect of woodworking, from the perspective of skilled professional and dedicated amateur woodworkers.
