Description

*“An excellent book.”* – **Rich Hinkebein, Woodturners of St. Louis Newsletter** *“Easy to read and understand with numerous drawings and color photos. The heart of the book encompasses complete plan guides to the turning of 20 different shakers, with skill levels of beginner, intermediate & expert. These shakers would make great gifts. I recommend that you purchase a copy”.*– **Steve Wilson, The Tidewater Turner** *“Another excellent book from Chris West! It provides fantastic pictures and explains the details on the art of making heirloom pieces.”* – **Craig Lapiana, Chefware Kits** *“Step-by-step instructions guide you through the process of making each shaker design. Each project has color photos of the finished design along with clear illustrations that detail the turning blank outlines as well as finished part dimensions.”* – **Keith Bellamy, Buckeye Woodworkers & Woodturners Newsletter** *“These shakers would make attractive, useful gifts, and could be made relatively quickly without a bunch of fancy tools. Mr. West presents an impressive range of interesting shapes and construction techniques. He even has designs for spice shakers that have airtight seals to keep the spices in them from going stale. The shakers in this book don’t require expensive, fancy mechanisms, and likely will work just fine even if your measurements are not precise.”* – **Harvey Rogers, Turning Times** *“A very well put together book on how to turn salt, pepper, and spice shakers, as well as a few bonus projects. The book was very well thought out. Chris touches on all the aspects of producing these shakers. He takes the turner through wood selection, shape and functionality. The book has great illustrations and detailed measurements when needed. He leaves no one out with help for beginners through advanced turners. I would recommend adding this book to your turning library”* – **Greg Gonsalves, The Gulf Coast Woodturner**
