I started woodturning when I was still at school, some 30 years ago now, apart from the few initial lessons I had back then my work is totally self-taught, even making my own tools, although of late most of those have been replaced by far superior tools with higher grade steel.

My love for woodturning has never changed over those years, woodturning for me is, and always will be a break away from normal life.

All of the wood I work with is hand picked by me, and in most cases obtained through normal maintenance work to trees, and not from felling. Any bought wood is always obtained through a sustainable supplier.
