Biography
I’ve always enjoyed working with wood and I first took up woodturning in 2013 as what I called my “retirement hobby” to ensure that I would have something to occupy myself in my retirement. I retired in 2016 after working for 30 years in the Oil and Gas Industry, the last 20 of which I lived near Aberdeen. Once I had retired we moved back down to my home county of Yorkshire and I now live near Huddersfield where woodturning has become a regular aspect of my daily life.
I am an AWGB Approved Tutor, a member of The Heritage Craft Association and a Trustee and Committee member of the Huddersfield and District Woodturners.
I am currently specialising in Basket Illusion Bowls and Coloured and Lacquered Hollow Forms although I turn a large variety of other items that I sell. I get a lot of enjoyment from learning new skills and creating something that I have not done before.
I started demonstrating to local woodturning clubs in 2022 and I’m currently developing that aspect of my portfolio.
