Biography
I have been involved with wood in some capacity for the majority of my life. I worked as a saw doctor prior to becoming Company Director of the family timber mill.
However, 1998 saw another change of direction for me, it felt like a natural progression to become a full time woodturner.
In 2001 I was accepted onto the Register of Professional Turners
