I began turning in early 1995 having been encouraged by a close friend (he bought the first lathe).

At the AWGB Seminar 1997 I had a piece selected by Bert Marsh for inclusion in the publication Wonders In Wood. At this stage in my development I felt highly honoured as the piece was not finished and still isn't. For the 1999 seminar I decided to go natural and entered a Natural edged Acacia Bowl, this was used by GMC Publication to promote subscription to the Woodturning Magazine.

Having had a piece picked at each AWGB seminar I had attended, for 2001 it was time for something a little more radical. I had created a wonderful coloured form but as mentioned in Mark Bakers Article Woodturning Feb 2005 Issue 145 I went a little to far and wrecked it. Time to start again and along came "Pearly Queen" it was finished at 12:30am the day of the seminar. Some people hated it others loved it but it did its job, it provoked controversy all weekend.
     

At the top of this page is my entry for the 2003 seminar without to much patting on my back it is stunning. Nature can create some wonderful material for us wood turners to play with. This platter is 600mm x 480mm and nearly didn't make it out of the workshop. At one point down the platter there is very little wood holding it together.

The 2005 seminar is not far away and as yet I have not decided the format of my pieces. I would encourage everyone to attend local or National seminars as they are places to learn new techniques, watch clever people making the art of Woodturning look easy.
