 Excellent guideAug 30, 2010
After reading other reviews, I purchased this book. Best guide to making segmented projects. Plenty of photos, but text has the details that you want to know.
 Not for beginnersFeb 03, 2010
I had no idea what I was getting into when I purchased this book. I'm sure it is great instruction for advanced turners who have completed many segmented projects. If you are new to segmented turning "this is not the book for you" It would not be fair to the Author to rate this book poorly, although I do believe some indication of its advanced nature should be noted in the description. I'll put this book on the shelf and find a book that really explains segmented wood turning for the beginner.

Book was not what I had expected as advertised. Would not buy it if I had a chance to see it before purchased, for me personally a big letdown.
