Acorn Woodturning Ltd
Biography
Phil Jones has a lifetime of experience in woodturning and has a wide range of experience to fall back on, whether you require a one-off item or a production run of turned items whether copy turned on a copy lathe for mass production or as is often required hand turned. The picture is of a set of African Blackwood door handles which are finished to a very high standard whether you require a small antique replacement part or a run of chair back sticks Phil is likely to have completed them previously.
Phil was taught by time served woodturners in an informal apprenticeship and has also worked in other woodturning establishments before starting Acorn woodturning Ltd in 1988 although it was initially as a sole trader rather than Ltd. He also offers woodturning lessons in a well-equipped traditional woodturning workshop with all the tools and safety equipment provided. The workshop has dust extraction and ambient air filters, tools and lathes, and a plentiful supply of timber, just waiting to be turned into shavings and of course a completed item.
