| On this page I will show you some of my "Finished" work, |
 |
| This is me hard at work butchering another piece of wood, I have a British built laith the "Record CL1" (for the technically minded) with a swivel head stock which allows me to turn larger bowls etc, I have been turning for about two or three years now and still learning new things each day, |
 |
| This is the end result of the picture above it is a "Giggle Box" made of Marbled Fiddleback Sycamore , which I think is a beautiful wood to work with : So why is it called a Giggle Box ? Well it's for putting rings and keys etc in, and you know you put things away somewhere safe then when you go looking for IT you cant find IT , Then weeks later when you dont want IT you look in this box and go "HEHEHE Thats where IT is" |
 |
| Here we have yet another bowl made of Marbled Sycamore this is my "Sweet & Sour bowl" the inner bowl is for Sweets and the outer bowl is for Fruit Sweet & Sour |
 |
| From left to right : is Spalted Beech , Imbuya , African Paduk Fiddleback Sycamore and Honduran Rosewood, The Spalted Beech gets it's black rippled lines through lying on the forest floor and allowing a fungus to grow on it , The Imbuya is a favourite of mine, it's an oily wood with a VERY distingtive smell,A bit like Marijuana so I am told, not that I have ever tried it. All the timbers I use are from sustainable forests,I wouldn't dream of using any thing else. |
 |
| And finally what about all the little bits of wood left over that cant be turned ? Well I decorate them, like this bit of Burr that I actually fished out of the river in France, all it needed was a few "Mushrooms" a few bits of fern and the little mouse finishes it off. Unusual yes, But nothing goes to waste |
| I hope you liked what you seen so far, these are only a small sample of my work, I do sell quite a bit of it ,but some people moan about the price, I guess they don't appreciate the work involved turning out a one off piece of art |
| If you have seen enough then don't be affraid to Sign my Guestbook |
 |
| This is my latest endevour, A coffee table made of Ash with a Mahogany inlay, As you see I have combined both my "wood work" and my "Knot working skills", I had to get it right first time as I had no "work plans" for the table, So this is definitly a One off, (and it's copyrighted Keith) |
