Recenzii
"From the grandfather of contemporary wood-art movement. David Ellsworth provides step-by-step directions for three projects--an open bowel, a natural edged bowl, and a hollow vessel." --"Canadian Woodworking Magazine"
David clearly speaks for himself in this book, so if you want to get to know the man, his life, and his work, be sure to buy a copy. - American Woodturner
A gallery of David 's turnings and those in his personal collection will really stimulate your turning design juices! We highly recommend this book to all people interested in wood turning!! - Woodturning Design
Renowned for creating thin-walled bowls and vases, Ellsworth, a first-time author but a recognized artisan and woodworker, authoritatively here reveals the secrets behind his signature style and offers sound advice. The section on stretching and posture, where he addresses muscle strain or back injury during wood turning, is worthy of major praise. Much of what is covered in this book is very advanced stuff but with results of ethereal beauty. Highly recommended for advanced woodworking collections. - Library Journal
The book is beautifully illustrated with signature pieces and is not only incredibly comprehensive but also highly visually engaging. - Woodturning Magazine
Written in a refreshingly clear, direct style and abundantly illustrated with photos of his (and othersΣ) work, EllsworthΣs book would make a useful addition to any serious woodturnerΣs library. - Fine Woodworking
Best of all, stunning color photographs of EllsworthΣs work will inspire artists to unlock the natural beauty hidden below the surface of the wood and themselves. - The Crafts Report
A crucial read for a wood-turner and an enlightening read for a woodworker. - Canadian Woodworking
Textul de pe ultima copertă
David Ellsworth is the grandfather of the wood art movement and Ellsworth on Woodturning is the book woodturners worldwide have been waiting for. With this first-ever book from the grandmaster of woodturning, woodworkers and artists can learn to replicate his highly evolved techniques and signature style. Step-by-step directions and crisp, absorbing photos show exactly how Ellsworth creates an open bowl, a natural-edged bowl, and an astounding hollow vessel featuring a tiny opening and coin-thin walls. In sharing his vision, Ellsworth reveals not only his techniques, but the power of the creative process-the feeling of direct engagement with the wood that develops an artist from each project to the next. For anyone new to the lathe, Ellsworth on Woodturning provides expert tips for getting started. Intermediate and advanced turners will appreciate advice on everything from working with green wood to design to tool making and sharpening. Best of all, stunning color photographs of Ellsworth's work will inspire artists to unlock the natural beauty in wood. "His work overturned all the deeply help traditions of functionality that had defined turning. For the first time, woodturners were seeing themselves as artists." - Terry Martin & Kevin Wallace, New Masters of Woodturning "A brilliant exposition of the art of woodturning by the premier writer, teacher, and practitioner of the art. It's clear complete, and superbly illustrated." - Jane and Arthur Mason, wood art collectors
