The Creative Woodturner is not your usual "how-to" woodturning book. It won't tell you what a chuck is, how to sharpen a scraper, or how to turn a goblet. Instead, this book is a "how-to" for unlocking curiosity, how to break the rules, and for following one's own artistic path with confidence. Designed to give readers a wide-perspective on creativity, The Creative Woodturner begins first with insightful commentary, quotes, and examples from the woodturning and art community that will both inspire and inform. In addition, the author shares his Idea Tools: questions to ask during the planning and creative process that are as important to the creation of the woodturning project as any equipment in the shop. Finally, 16 one-of-a-kind projects--from boxes and vessels to bowls and one-of-a-kind scultpures--are featured that will spark the creative mindset of any woodturner.

The more we like to touch an object, the longer it can be found in our household. Nowadays, these wooden objects often are replaced by plastic resulting in a limited lifespan as a standard. How delightful it is when an old chisel finds its way into your hands at a garage sale, its handle polished by touch and its frayed end telling of heavy use. That is exactly the feeling this book wants to convey - to recall and revive forgotten utensils!
