Here you will see some of the wood turning that I have done over the past ten years. It is still a challenge in selecting and turning the best posible piece of wood that will end up, not every time as you want it.
December last year was taken up turning various items to sell through two or three shops in Sussex. Any of the items pictured here are for sale. Commision work also undertaken.
