For over 20 years woodturners have been turning to Richard Raffan for expert advice and inspiration. His new book Turning Wood 3rd Edition is an updated and expanded edition of his 1985 classic. It covers everything from the lathe, to fixings, cutting tools, safety, measuring, centerwork, and more. A companion DVD is also available.
