Walter Turpening has been designing and perfecting seating for
crafters and artistic creators (particularly weavers, knitters,
handspinners, and musicians) for 20-plus years. His signature
cotton-cord, curved, woven seats on fine woodworked frames are
sought after by crafters, and he operates on an average two-year
waiting list. He has also been teaching his techniques for many
years, and this book is a compilation of his design journal and
instructions for his methods, including the wooden furniture
designs and weaving designs, plus his methods for measuring the
recipient and their intended end use of the furniture for perfect
ergonomic comfort. At 73 years young, it is Walt's desire to share
his treasury of knowledge for the benefit of woodworkers and
crafters.

Segmented turning--turning an object from a glued-up
blank--allows turners to design and create patterns and visual
effects in turned pieces. In addition to design skills, segmented
turning demands precise woodworking and turning skills.
In "Segmented Turning," professional turner Dennis Keeling shows
step-by-step all the basic techniques for closed segmented, open
segmented, and ornamental segmented turning. He focuses on the
fundamentals of accuracy in the three types of construction, as
well as the equipment, tools, and materials used for those forms.
Keeling also showcases the work of seven other segmented turners,
discusses changing technology, and health and safety concerns of
working with wood in this way. Following the comprehensive
technique instruction are 10 projects that progress in difficulty,
from beginner to advanced.
At the end of the book, a gallery of inspirational segmented
designs provides inspiration.
