About this item
If you have woodturning experience, now you can create something truly special for family and friends. These beautiful hand-crafted toys are as enjoyable to make as they are to play with. Clear step-by-step instructions, detailed photographs, and easy-to-follow diagrams start with simple toys and increase in complexity. Projects are a mixture of pure turned toys and also basic constructions, whereby turned items may be cut apart and re-sectioned to create something different.
About the Author
