Book Reviews of The Complete Illustrated Guide To Shaping Wood
Book Review: Many of Birds working secrets
Summary: 5 Stars
What a great book! Very useful, nice functional layout. This is a shop manual more then a book for causal reading.
I believe every successful woodworker possess their own 'Secrets of the Craft'. These are time-tested methodolgies made unique by each craftsmen. Bird goes into great detail about how and more importantly WHY he chooses one method over another in almost every topic.
This is one book that should be sitting near your bench, and not stored with your (often unopened) machine manuals.
Summary of The Complete Illustrated Guide To Shaping Wood
Shape is critical to the ultimate success or failure of a piece of furniture. Knowing this, custom-furniture maker Lonnie Bird has taken the complex subject of shaping and in this book made it accessible to every woodworker. He guides the reader toward first visualizing, then drawing a shape, and then choosing the appropriate tool for creating it. Shaping techniques of all kinds are covered here -- from the simplest ones to more complex bending and carving.Projects Books
