Woodturnings

The majority of woodturnings are roughed out from newly felled trees obtained locally. These are left to dry for 6 to 9 months depending on the species and then finish turned. A few may be of exotic woods from sustainable sources. Most works are finished with a combination of tung oil and polyurethane varnish. In all of my woodturning I try to keep things simple and as a result you will rarely find turnings that have been carved, textured, stained or embellished in any way. Certainly I would only do so if the particular flitch of wood were plain and uninteresting, in which case I may then carve, color or texture to provide the needed interest. In turning I consider the overall form to be the most important factor in pleasing the eye of the beholder and no amount of embellishment can cover for a lack of line and form.
