Small Woodturning Projects with Bonnie Klein

“Small Woodturning Projects with Bonnie Klein” is the natural companion to her earlier classic. Published in 2013, this book features 12 step-by-step projects that demonstrate techniques and decorative enhancements through full-color photographs and clear instructions.

The projects range from Klein’s famous Spin Top to the more challenging Acorn Box, covering techniques like chatterwork, burned lines, and various finishing methods. Each project is designed to build specific skills while producing something you will actually want to keep or give away. The book works on both mini and full-size lathes, staying true to Klein’s philosophy of making woodturning accessible regardless of your workshop setup.

This is an excellent second book after “Classic Woodturning Projects,” or a good standalone choice if you already know your way around a lathe and want focused, satisfying projects with clear instruction from one of the craft’s most respected teachers.
