Work

Woodturning

The turned work that is most satisfying for me is that which lets the wood itself have the final say in the form. This is done using green (unseasoned) wood, which when turned relatively thin, distorts as it dries, to produce beautiful organic forms. I feel that since it takes such a long time for this material to mature that I should do my best to respect it.

Furniture maker

With years of experience making contemporary furniture for a local designer, it was a natural progression for me to use these skills alongside my turning, to produce my own designs. I welcome private commissions.
