This bowl was made for a very dear friend as a wedding present. The bowl has been turned from Rippled Sycamore and finished with friction polish. |
|
This salad bowl is from Tiger Striped Sweet Chestnut. Several coats of finishing oil have created an excellent result. I was at school with Tony for 6 years from 1954 |

These Elm ring holders have been finished with friction polish. The pair were turned from one original blank, they are very similar, but are not identical. The same description applies to the twins for whom they were made. |

6 Porthole Covers |
|
Replacement Saucepan Handles |
|
| |
 |
|
 |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
While I was at a recent craft fair I spoke to David Lewis. He needed some trim rings and covers for the port holes in his boat. After a false start due to bad timber this set of covers and rings were made from American White Oak. |
|
My friends Gill and Jeff needed some replacement handles for their Le Creuset pans, the completed handles (before a finish has been applied) are shown here. If you have a pan handle that needs replacing, send me the old one to copy using any wood you care to choose. Only £5 each plus postage. |

2 Acorns - But Bigger Than Average |
|
|
|
| |
 |
|
Word got passed via the Potter Heigham pen brigade to Richard Green (a local farmer) that I would be able to do some wood turning for him. Eventually the request came in: 'Can you make me a pair of acorns to a specific pattern, and as large as possible'. Richard gave me 2 pieces of Greenheart Oak, both a little over 140mm square and about 360mm long. I had to reduce the length a little so I could get the work between centres, and even then the lathe struggled for a while until the blanks came into balance. The outcome was very pleasing, and Richard was happy with the results. The finished pair each measured 270mm head to toe and were 120mm in diameter. |
