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

Tony



"Woodturning, Two books in One", Phil Irons, Sterling Publishing, NY, 1999
ISBN 0-8069-6583-5

Paid about $18 at Rockler.

Before you start the lathe, find some videos. As much as anything, turning
is a motor skill, demonstrated best visually. The 'dance' is hard to
explain, or understand, from static words and pictures.

At least for me.
