Abbey woodturning

Woodturning at its best

Wood turning is an ancient craft dating back to the Egyptian Dynasties. Today there are two main types of wood turning found in the craft worlds. The Pole and treadle lathe turners who adhere to the older style, manually operated lathes of yesteryear to produce their work and the turners who use modern lathes, electrically powered and often with a multitude of accessories that allows them to produce effects undreamed of by the old turners and bodgers ( a term accurately applied only to those turners from the Buckinghamshire area). I belong to the latter though getting and learning to use a pole lathe is something that I would love to do one day.

Feel free to browse my site and have a look at the variety of different styles and items that I make in the galleries. If you wish to commission a piece please either use the contact page where you will be given a variety of ways to get hold of me and ask questions or commission a piece. I also do blank, unfinished pieces for pyrographers and artists.

Please contact me if you have ideas and suggestions of things to make
