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.  I make both functional and artistic pieces but always with an eye to quality, design and beauty. I became a Registered Professional Turner in 2007.

STOP PRESS Over the next few months, I will be exhibiting my work at several shows with the Oxordshire Craft Guild, follow the link to the Exhibitions link for details. I have also recently sent some of my inlaid platters to the Dansel Gallery at Abbotsbury in Dorset

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; work available directly from me (as indicated with prices) can be ordered by following the Contact link. 

I use both British woods and those from around the world. In so far as is possible, I ensure that all my raw material comes from sustainably managed sources. 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, France, Germany, Israel, Italy, Fiji, Thailand, Turkey, Switzerland and the USA; I would love to hear of other locations.

The Piece of the Month for June is a bowl made from ripple sycamore. For more information, click on the thumbnail.
