BESPOKE WOODWORKING AND WOODTURNING
Since retiring from commercial life as a Food & Drink marketer in 2018 I've been indulging my passion for working with wood. Inspired by a truly exceptional woodwork teacher whilst at school in Lancaster (a long time ago) and after more recent refresher courses at Axminster, I've had lots of fun re-learning the techniques involved in hand-crafting pieces from wood.
​
I do this for fun, and am happy to consider turning or making any small piece as a bespoke work.
ABOUT
I was persuaded, after a few beers at Christmas just before the Covid pandemic, to set up a small business, by my wife & daughters, all heavily into crafting themselves. I’d spent the previous year playing with a small lathe in my workshop. I'd picked up a few small 'commissions' in the year from people who found the 'business' via googlemaps - the sort of things that either can't be undertaken by the bigger commercial suppliers, or else would simply be too expensive to undertake. My first commissioned work was to replace a set of pan handles on a 30 year-old set of Prestige pans, received as a wedding present and with much nostalgic value.
