Turning Bowls With Richard Raffan by Richard Raffan (2002, Paperback, Illustrated)

I thought this book was very helpful. Good illustrations and information that was digestable for the beginner (like me). The most interesting information I learned from it was which parts of a log were best for making a bowl and why. This book also did not presume that you had a knowledge base to build on and yet was not too simple.

This is the best book I've read on turning bowls. Mr Raffan knows what the reader needs to know and delivers the goods. I will seek out his books for any new material that he may write.
