About
For me, wood is the most pleasantly surprising and tactile material that nature provides. While always knowing what I want to achieve when placing a piece of wood onto the lathe, how it will reveal itself when the surface peels away is nearly as exciting as applying the finishing touch.
Woodturning has been a passionate hobby of mine for several years and, as those years have progressed, I have become more adventurous in exploring different forms and techniques.
All my work is from fallen timber and no tree has ever been felled with the specific objective of providing me with material.
Despite appearing at only a small number of events and shows, I am very happy to accept commissions.
Thank you for visiting my website. I hope you find time to browse the gallery images where you find a few examples of my recent work
