 For art appreciation - not for instructionJul 01, 2008
By Keeley L. Guthrie
This gentleman is a very talented artist. However, the DVD does not provide instruction (and maybe I should have realized this). I would have been happy if it even shared inspiration - but it did not for me. If you are a fan of this man's art and are interested in what inspires him, you won't be dissapointed. If you are looking for instruction or tips for turning - this is not the right DVD.

 Fine document on a great artistNov 24, 2008
By Jill Brooke
I enjoyed this unique document very much as a fan of this wonderful art form. There is no instruction so don't buy it to take a lesson on the techniques of woodturning. You learn by contemplating and by letting yourself being inspired. Similar pieces are shown, which gave me an opportunity to appreciate the technique even more. This kind of videos have a tremendous interest when you consider that it takes much more than skills to create beauty. You will realise it deeply here thanks to Bernard Blain's interest in William Hunter.

 William Hunter Wood Sculpter (DVD)Sep 11, 2008
By C. Faille
I was very disappointed with my purchase of this DVD. It was largely my fault. I thought I was purchasing an instructional DVD on William Hunter's methods; instead the contents were endless interviews with Hunter about his philosophies and beliefs. If I could request a refund I would.

 Way too long if you're not already a fanAug 06, 2008
By C. J. Fuller
This video follows the artist through years of growth, showcases an incredible body of work, and gives some information about Hunter's process. But much of the work is similar; the ideas are similar; there is no drama here, no suspense. I hate to say it's boring, but really, I found myself checking the clock repeatedly while watching. A book of photos would have been as good, as long as the more repetitive pieces were eliminated.
