My workshop is a collection of old farm buildings that I renovated and
converted.
I do the bulk of my work on a VB36 lathe. I rough turn all of my work direct from the tree trunks. I then dry the rough turned bowls before returning them to the lathe for finishing and polishing. The whole process takes a minimum of 6 months from start to finish.
All of the timber that I use is sourced locally and comes from trees that have been felled by storms or as a result of disease.
We had a particularly bad storm on Christmas Eve 1998.
