The book "Wood Vessel Sculpture"
As a compendium of my woodturning activities of the last twenty years with the chapters: bowls, vases, boxes, spindles, sculptures, peppermills - shows works from the earliest phases up to the present. Furthemore, a photo series reveals the process of a recepticle turned on four axes.
Text in English and German.
