Woodturner

I like to work with native hardwoods and often casualties of storms, I feel like I am a “Wood Whisperer” when I rescue from a pile of wood, such lovely grained wood that maybe were gateposts or branches for birds to perch on but now no longer functional and I can give them a new purpose.

Yew is a particular favourite because of its colour and diversity of pattern. Nature is my inspiration in all its forms.  Recently I have made a variety of different birds from waders to birds of prey each one being a character, always individual.  I also make bowls, platters, boxes, apples, pears, bananas along with natural forms.
