Paul is a woodturner based in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire. This website is a showcase of Paul’s woodturning which produces by hand in his workshop. Some of the turned wooden objects are purely decorative and some are functional. Great attention is paid to the form and finish 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 woodturning. Paul often likes to experiment and uses a wide variety of tools and techniques to expand on the woodturning theme. The permutations open to the woodturner are almost endless and Paul never runs short of things to try out.

Wood for the Woodturner
Paul uses many different species of wood for turning. 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. Paul prefers to use locally grown wood where possible. He also uses non-native wood for specific applications he obtains from managed resources.
