Publisher's Note Green woodturning--turning fresh lumber straight from the log--brings the craftsman in contact with the living, growing tree, and reveals its special warmth, durability, color, and grain patterns. Above all, with green wood it's possible to produce bowls and goblets of such delicacy that they appear translucent. Aided by spectacular photographs, a foremost exponent of the style tells how to harvest and store green wood; explains all the intricacies of tools and techniques; helps you anticipate the natural changes green wood undergoes as it dries; and reveals the mysteries of the most admired skills in the craft. Six stunning projects develop your expertise, including a very thin, almost transparent cross-grain bowl and a fine, natural-edge end-grain goblet.
