Thanks for all the great comments! Congratulations to forja000, the winner of this book giveaway. Stay tuned for more exciting book giveaways and if you’re interested in a copy of “Woodturning Techniques: Furniture & Cabinetmaking,” it is currently available at ShopWoodworking.com.
One of our newest books comes from Windsor chair expert Mike Dunbar. The book is a reprint of a classic text on woodturning from a furniture and cabinetmaking perspective. If you’d prefer to make your own furniture components rather than buy mass-produced factory-made parts, then “Woodturning Techniques: Furniture & Cabinetmaking” may be of interest to you. You’ll need access to a lathe, of course – but the rewards of learning how to use woodturning tools to create your own chair and table legs, spindles, rails and stiles are many. Finer details are often softened or marred in factory-turned pieces. Turning your own is a much better way to recreate period details or add your own creative touch to a piece of furniture.
Want to know more? This excerpt covers which woodturning tools give you the most bang for your buck.
I have one copy of the book to give away! Simply post a comment and I’ll choose the lucky winner at random (winner will be announced on Monday 3/27). Good luck!

Would love this book
Worth a shot.
interesting. Does it touch on duplication of spindles to make multiples?
Yes, please.
I’d like to actually learn how to turn properly!
I feel inspired by the Byrds song exhorting shorebirds to take up lathecraft, Turn, Tern, Turn! This would help.
What an Excellent Resource for Woodturners!
I make Windsor Chairs but need a lot of work on the turnings. This book would help. Thanks

So sorry I never got to take a class with Mike. I’ve enjoyed his tv appearances as well as his articles.

I so would love to add this to my library…..I am a firm believer of read everything I can about my hobbies…only teaches me more, hopefully without me crushing fingers in the process 😉
One of my bucket list items was to take a Windsor chair class at with Mike but since that is no longer an option, this looks like it will help fill in the blanks.
A great idea to have focus on turning for furniture making.
Looks like a nice addition to the library-count me in!
