 Raffan book August 12, 2008
I found the DVD of Raffan to be very helpful and i found the book to be very complex. It is useful and full of alot of information but as a new turner it can be overwhelm...still i perfer the DVD with demonstrations and use the book only for sectional reference......good buy and you may want it with the DVD
 Great resource November 13, 2007
Great book, so great I gave mine to a friend and now have to buy it again. This book shows many cuts and techniques that turners need to understand turning bowls.
Recommended for any personal or club library.

This book, and a couple others (I bought a set of 3) catapulted my turning abilities from novice to salable in a just a few projects. More importantly, as I improved, I've saved many hours and sheets of sandpaper. His explanations, photos, and diagrams combine to make lathe turning very understandable and even more fun than I expected. Even some of the techniques that gave me some trepidation I now find routine. If you have a lathe or thinking about it, this book and others by the same author (Turning Wood is the basics) are highly beneficial.
