Ed Oliver RPT – Woodturner & Founder of Olivers Woodturning

Ed Oliver is a Registered Professional Turner (RPT) with a passion for woodturning rooted in both tradition and lifelong curiosity. Although his first taste of turning came in 1972 during his apprenticeship as a furniture maker, it wasn’t until 2013—thanks to a two-day woodturning course gifted by his wife Karen—that he truly rediscovered the craft. From that moment, he treated woodturning as a new apprenticeship, dedicating over 12,000 hours at the lathe to mastering the art.

Ed refined his skills under the guidance of Tom Pockley, and later trained with world-renowned turners including Nick Agar, Mark Sanger, Stuart Mortimer, and Joey Richardson. His work spans hollow forms, bowls, decorative and artistic pieces, and he is equally known for his enthusiasm for teaching and demonstrating—both in person and online.

As the founder of Olivers Woodturning, Ed supplies quality tools and materials to fellow turners across the UK. Through his website, YouTube channel, and hands-on sessions, he shares not just techniques, but a deep love for the craft of woodturning.
