The book itself is beautifully presented and throughout the 156 pages, the reader can expect to see large, clear photos of work in progress with comments linking them to the main text along with detailed explanations and practical advice. Its comprehensive approach to combining woodturning with other woodworking techniques is what sets this book apart, and the inspiring projects found within make it a valuable addition to any woodworker's reference library.""-- ""The Woodworker Magazine"""
