Paul is a woodturner based in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire. This website is a showcase of Paul’s woodturning which he turns by hand in his workshop from hand picked pieces of wood. Some of the turned wooden objects Paul produces are purely decorative and some are functional. Great attention is paid to the form and finish on all work with the aim that each hand turned piece is both tactile and pleasing to the eye.
Paul includes texture, carving, colour and other materials in his work. Paul often likes to experiment and uses a wide variety of tools and techniques to expand on the theme. The permutations available to the woodturner of what can be done with wood are almost endless. Paul never runs short of things to experiment with and test.

Wood for the Woodturner
Paul uses many different species of wood for turning. Paul prefers to use locally grown wood where possible. He also uses non-native wood for specific applications he obtains from managed resources. The main focus is on artistic or creative woodturning. Wood is the material of choice both for its unique characteristics and because of its endless variations in appearance and character. Wood is not only the raw material but also the inspiration for many of the pieces produced.
