oak with eyeAshover church has a peal of 10 bells. About 12 years ago it had to replace their ancient oak frame with a modern steel one. I was happy to declutter the churchyard of the old timbers. | 65beech ebony box1.jpg |

birch potIn the early nineties our home was still in Suffolk, and so was my workshop. I acquired the trunk of a small birch tree, and turned about 7 small pots with the bark still on the rim. They were graded in terms of size as you went up the trunk. A couple I finished to my satisfaction, but the rest languished on a shelf for years. One got worm and was relegated to the greenhouse as a 'useful container'. This was one of the middling ones, and was liberated about 5 years ago. | |

olive table piece with lampsI have a good Israeli friend whose father was a carpenter and came originally form Greece. My friend loves olive trees, and had several in his garden. One died, so he decided to send me some of the wood, through the post! The tree sections were sliced too thin for making bowls. The wood was beautiful, but for five years I didn't know what to do with it. Then I decided to do this. | 102 spalted cherry - 2.jpg |
eucalyptus with open jawThis large bowl was turned from a fairly green piece of eucalyptus grown in south Derbyshire. When finished it was perfectly round, and perfectly flat at the rim. The shape you see is entirely due to the warping as the wood dried out. | IMG_3170.JPG |
