As a woodturner I am always intrigued by the beauty hidden inside a simple log or piece of wood. Something that other people may just throw on the fireplace can in fact hide an incredible amount of character and allure. My objective as a craftsman is to try to highlight and reveal what Mother Nature has hidden away. By using exotic woods and burls in conjunction with everyday objects such as pens, I strive to produce items that are beautiful and unique but still practical. I also enjoy using acrylics and other modern materials to take advantage of the durability and array of colours that these products offer and will, on occasion, mix them together for special items.
