(More customer reviews)I'm a segmented turner who sells his turnings through a gallery, and I just got a hold of Tibbetts' books. In my view, it is the best book to date written on this subject. He is without question one of the most adept artists in segmented design, and he is exceedingly generous in laying out his extraordinary techniques and methods in this field. This book will likely advance this art form considerably.
Tibbetts' writing is easy to read, though I would say the material is aimed more at the intermediate to advanced crafts-person. Woodworkers at any level will find the information useful, and the examples of Tibbetts' designs are beautiful, inspirational and unparalled in this field. It's a bit humbling, really. I am personally grateful to the author.
