This is an excellent book for the beginning wood turner. Most of the book the pages are split in 2. The top are projects one can try to learn turning on. The bottom are in depth directions how to do specific tasks that are commonly used. This way you can stay on your project page will flipping back and forth on the bottom for the detailed instructions. Very good pictures helping demonstrate the process being described. Highly recommend to beginner and intermediate turners alike.
