My Turning is very varied; I enjoy making artistic bowls including natural edges, green turned and spalted, but also make functional bowls for salad and fruit etc.
I try to let the wood speak for itself and tend to use oil finishes. I do however use chemical means to encourage the wood to show exciting contrasts, for example by ebonising timbers with a large tannin content, such as Oak, Walnut, Mulberry etc. and I also use coloured stains to enhance grain. I also make a large variety of functional items for the home.
Prices are mostly between £5 and £300 (plus postage and packaging), though some special pieces are more expensive. Please email me if you are interested in a particular piece - If it has already gone to a good home, there is always a chance I am working on something similar!
