It is a nice coffee table book with lots of photos of old wooden bowls from archaeological sites tracing the history of the craft from the early iron age through Viking times, Medieval, Tudor and up to the last pole lathe bowlturners of the early 20th century.
Here is a fancy bowl from the mazers chapter, these amazing silver gilt rimmed wooden bowls were highly prized in medieval times.
I'll draw a name or post number from a random number selector on 7th December which should give the book plenty of time to reach the winner for Christmas. If you are posting a comment why not also sign up as a follower if you haven't already, it is always nice for me to know who is reading the blog.

Hey Robin! I can't get enough reading about knots, wood, trees, joints etc, and my bowl lathe is STILL acting as a very inefficient shelf next to the spindle lathe. Perhaps your book would give me the kick to get going (once I've been to see Paul for some replacement hooks and half a day's hints and tips). Keep up the blog, I watch out for posts every day using Netvibes I monitor about 12 blogs, better than reading the depressing newspapers! See you in Feb.
Sign me up as well! I have been wanting your book for as long as i can remember knowing about it!
You can put my name in the hat too. It would be nice to know more about the history of these things I make.
Please put my name in for the drawing for your book.
