STOP PRESS I am delighted that my work is now being stocked in the Stani Gallery in Stoney Stratford.

Welcome to my woodturning web site 

I have been turning wood in my workshop in Oxford, UK for several years making a wide range of products, including bowls, platters, candlesticks and boxes.  My work is generally one-off pieces, both functional and artistic, and covering a wide range of prices, always with an eye to quality, design and beauty. I became a Registered Professional Turner in 2007.

In this site you can see examples of my work in the on-line gallery.  You can also see information about where these pieces can be bought if they are in art galleries.

I don't do production turning eg multiple copies of things like newel posts for staircases; however, if that is what you are looking for then I know a man (actually several men!) who can do that sort of thing.

I use both British woods and those from around the world with increasing attention to ensuring that I use only sustainably managed sources, increasingly from the immediate surrounds. Not only does my raw material come from far and wide but my work also travels.  To my knowledge, examples are currently in Australia, Canada, China, Denmark, Ecuador, France, Germany, Israel, Italy, Fiji, Thailand, Turkey, Switzerland, UAE and the USA; I would love to hear of other locations.

The piece of the month for January 2012 is one of my small bowl series, this one is in beech.
