The art of ornamental turning in wood (and, in former days, ivory) has a long and distinguished history and it has recently experienced a renaissance among craftspeople. This is T.D.Walshaw's definitive guide to the art, aimed not only at the experienced woodturner, but also at the novice. He provides comprehensive chapters on purpose-built ornamental lathes (both antique and modern), essential accessories, using cutting & decorative tools, plus detailed information about screw threads and templates. There are also clear directions on using a standard engineer's lathe to create ornamental work. Fully illustrated with close-up photographs of work in stages and finished projects, plus detailed plans and diagrams, this is the classic instruction book for any woodturner wanting to master the art of ornamental turning. This is an essential reference work for all woodturners and collectors of turned art.
Tom Walshaw is better known to hobbyists under the pen name "Tubal Cain" - the writer of many best-selling home workshop and model engineering guides.
