    I know it when I see it, but I cant say it before I see it...
  

*by P***O on Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2018*

My wife can take three rocks and put them in the yard, and they look great! There's something intangible but satisfying about the way she orients and places them. I do the same thing with the same rocks and it's just a pile of rubble. I ask my wife, "How do you do that?" And she says "it's just a sense of proportions.. aesthetics... i really don't know.. I just do it"If you're a woodturner, and I strive to be one, you may have struggled with the same thing for your turnings. Some turners make things that arrest you. You feel compelled to stop and look, and stare; there's something satisfying about that thing and you don't know what it is. You want to make things that people stop and stare at (and not because they're so bad either.) You can make great coves, beads, cyma reversa, etc... but once you've made them all, they just look like a stick with a few curves. They're interesting but they're not *arresting*. Not even close.It turns out... that there's a huge body of knowledge around this exact topic. What is beauty? There are more than a couple of philosophies about this, each with their own guiding principles. Mr. Darlow explores the history and summarizes it down to something usable: some basic shapes and principles. He then provides some very useful examples of variabilities inside those guidelines. Having no art background, I found this to be very informative. It begins to explain why my rocks were rubble, and my wifes was a rock garden.In one of the later chapters, several examples of woodturned pieces are analyzed. You can tell by looking at them that something's not quite right. After reading the previous few chapters you have a few hints, but the author goes through each piece and identifies the reasons why the piece does not arrest... and makes corrections. The differences are huge.The author reinforces, in more than one place, the importance of careful, thoughtful design and the importance of turning deliberately. He takes you through the design process for something he made, and discusses the whys and wherefores along the way. Again, very useful. I'd feel overanlytical if I did this on my own. Not so much now.If you just like puttering on the lathe, don't buy this book. But if you want to attempt to make something arresting and don't have an art or design background you should consider this book - it'll affect the way you look at made things.
