My focus is on design and form across a range of items, to deliver beautiful shapes and a feel which enhances the beauty of the wood itself. My design inspiration comes from other wood turnings, pottery, and just starting to turn and seeing where the piece of wood and my mood take me. I use wood from sustainable sources, including trees from our garden (when we lived in Scotland), relatives’ gardens and delivered firewood. Some pieces are made from wood inherited from my father's collection of over 50 years. My work is designed to be suitable for a range of uses or just for display.
