I really like the books by Richard Raffan. (I think the one I read is
called "Turning Wood")
I would highly recommend getting th video that goes with it. There are some
things in wood turning that are easier to watch than deterine from wrods or
pictures. A lot of larger libraries have the video, if you do not want to
buy it.

Can you folks recommend a good book for a novice woodturner? I see lots of
them out there but I don't know what's good and what's not. Thanks
