The most challenging chapter is the control of your design transferred to the actual peppermill. Rather than talking too much about tool work and which chisel to use, I’ve concentrated on the how and why of the contours, lines, weight, structure and balance of capturing your design correctly from paper to blank. I’ve been an artist my whole life. Illustration was my career for 16 years. I’ve taken all I learned from that and applied it to woodturning. If you want to create art on a lathe you need to think like an artist. There are design elements that I’ve formulated over the years and have put them down onto paper so that the average person will understand. This chapter helps you to “see” form in a different light. So pay close attention. And not to disappoint those who love tools, I’ll show you a chisel you may not have in your arsenal used in an unorthodox way that will give you more control over the fluid quality of your contours.
