Reviews
"Those photos alone are worth the price of the book. I absolutely enjoyed the book. I recommend the book to anyone who is interested in the history of woodturning and wants to look into the daily life of one of the true masters of the lathe . . . this book with definitely be added to my library." -Woodturning Design, I have always regarded Bob Stocksdale as the consummate craftsman, the epitome of old world craftsmanship in "the new world." During the time that the studio woodturning movement was developing within American craft, Bob was already long established as a highly successful and respected professional woodturner, in a league all his own. My professional relationship with Bob began in 1978 when our work was exhibited, along with that of my father and Ed Moulthrop, in a show at the Renwick Gallery, the first exhibition of studio woodturning held by a major museum. The following year, I met Bob for the first time when The Elements Gallery in New York gave us a two-person show. It was an honor to show with him at that time as it is now to have my work appear alongside his in the collections of many museums. Bob was unphased by the new attention being focused on woodturning, and unswayed by the new generation's impatience with the traditions of craftsmanship. Throughout his long career, he maintained the same focus and pure vision, producing bowls whose form and grace hold their own against the backdrop of contemporary innovation and stylistic exploration., "An intimate look at the turner, his approach to wood turning, and his life-long quest to turn the perfect bowl." --Canadian Woodworking Magazine E-Newsletter, "With text transcribed directly from audiotapes and never-before-seen photographs, this book illustrates more than just how a turning legend shapes, sharpens and finishes-it's a snapshot of an American original." -The Crafts Report, "A perfectly delightful little book, full of color photos of bowls plus many other photos of Stocksdale at work." -Wood News Online/Highland Hardware E-Newsletter, "A book that will be of value to collectors and curators, as it shares the artist's story through biographical details, copies of letters and memorabilia. Yet, the book is largely designed for the growing market of amateur woodturners who can learn from Stockdale's techniques for turning bowls and sharpening tools, as well as his marketing savvy. It also provides a continuum in the field of contemporary craft, celebrating those who came before." -Craft Arts International, "Another great feature ofTo Turn the Perfect Wooden Bowlis the step-by-step instructions supplied by Bob Stocksdale and his excellent advice on how best to turn a bowl and platter, as well as sharpening tools, sanding and finishing tips. This is a very unusual book and is perfect if you are looking to learn more about Bob Stocksdale himself." -Woodturning Magazine(UK), "An intimate look at the turner, his approach to wood turning, and his life-long quest to turn the perfect bowl." -Canadian Woodworking Magazine E-Newsletter, "For me the most valuable part of the book is the photography-some 50 examples of his work." -Fine Woodworking.com
