Product Information
This sumptuous book brings a new dimension to woodturning. Working with native sycamore and beech, rather than strongly coloured exotic timbers, inspired Liz and Michael O'Donnell to explore unusual ways of adding colour and character to their work. The range of techniques used is impressive: Carving * Routering * Inlay * * Staining with water-based colour * Charring * Bleaching * Sandblasting * * Marbling * Pyrography * Gold leaf * Painting in oils & acrylics * Wire-brushing * Liz O'Donnell's stunning illustrations show how the designs are evolved, often using marine imagery such as birds and seashells as a point of departure. The result is a book which gives an unprecedented insight into the creative process, in addition to practical instruction in the techniques involved. Turners of all abilities will find it an inspiration.Product Identifiers
