(More customer reviews)64 full color pages, 5 page gallery. Color step-by-step directions for making 1 big bowl. I don't think this is for the beginner, it still scares me (even without the bleeding finger safety tips). Good techniques and I learned a lot, but it was too involved for my first bowl. I'll keep it in my library for later. Contents: Sharpening, Starting from a log (chain saw required), roughing out green wood, [wait while wood drys], turning the bowl, sanding with discs using a drill, building a jig for turning the foot, finishing (includes Judy's Low-tech, fun-n-easy-to-make, so-nontoxic-you-could-eat... finish recipe).
