As Reviewed by AWR:
Perfect bowl forms have been Bob Stocksdale’s quest and this small sized book is an understated introduction into his aims, methods and artistic achievements. Sam Maloof calls him the father of American woodturning and the author reveals that Stockdale’s innate knowledge of the material are matched with simple but refined techniques. This book is ‘a snapshot of a few days in the workshop’. Roszkiewicz documents in black and white images Stockdale’s process as he turns a bowl and a platter. The accompanying text is in conversational question and answer type format. There are numerous colour images of Stockdale’s work to enjoy. Recommended for the turner who is serious about the essence of good form.
