For me woodturning is like treasure hunting, as I turn the wood I uncover the treasure hidden inside. The shape and colours I use should be what a picture frame is to a picture. They should show the wood off to its best effect. I like to use either reclaimed wood or wood that was destined for the fire. My aim, working with nature, is to create beautiful and unique pieces.

Based in Lancashire, I collect most of my wood from community wood recycling  projects and from local tree surgeons. I dry and prepare the wood for turning and wait until the wood tells me what type of object and shape it should be. I like to work with the grain, the figure, the bark, the burrs and even any rot in order to bring out the beauty in the wood. I am happy to take commissions.

There is a small sample of my work that is for sale in the shop. If there is something you see in the gallery that you like or you would like to commission something similar please  contact me.

With extensive of experience with woodturning I can provide a quality bespoke woodturning service.

Whether you are restoring a period house or building and are wanting to install period style timber pieces, I can copy existing or damaged spindles, newel posts and door knobs.
