The shop
Where it all happens
A small shop on Salt Spring Island turning out lots of creations, mostly pieces made on the lathe.
The starting point
Raw materials
Most of my pieces are made from local wood. Lots of it comes from fruit tree pruning such as Apple, Plum and Crab Apple, plus local Arbutus and Maple. I’ve also been given woods like Russian Olive and White Oak, along with some more exotic woods I’ve purchased and am just starting to use.
On the bench
Work in progress
On the lathe and at the bench, each piece slowly takes shape. Roughing, turning, sanding, and finishing, all by hand.
