Description OUT OF PRINT Decorating Turned Wood Authors: Liz O’Donnell, Michael O’Donnell Bring a new dimension to woodturning! Working with native trees, rather than exotic varieties, can really draw out a woodworker’s creativity. While ecological, your challenge, then, is to find inventive and unusual ways to enhance the plain wood, and to add color and character to your pieces. In sumptuous illustrations, see how a renowned turner developed a range of impressive techniques for doing just this. Try carving or charring, sandblasting, pyrography, painting with oils and acrylics, wire brushing, bleaching, marbling, gold leaf, inlay, routering, and more. The drawings show, in detail, precisely how each design evolved-many of which use marine imagery, such as birds and seashells, as a point of departure. The results give unprecedented insight into the creative process. Related
