Life On The Ocean Waves Platter
This Turned, Power carved and coloured piece, was inspired by the work of and assistance of Stewart Furini. I was fortunate to spend the morning with Stewart in January 2019 in his workshop in Brighton East Sussex.
I have been a fan of Stewarts work for a long time, not only because of the results he gets and being a fellow member of the West Sussex Woodturners Club, but also because of his work ethos, where he likes to be adventurous with Colour on wood and try lots of different methods for applying it.
This finished platter is approx 12″ in diameter and 2″ deep, turned from a piece of Kiln Dried Sycamore, I then applied the Texture to the Surface using a Proxon Long Handled Grinder with a rasp attachment, this was then sanded to around 240 grit using nylon rotary brushes and Chestnut products Nyweb. I then used several shades of Blue cutting back between coats with an Airbrush to create a piece that looked like waves on the Ocean. Once all colour was applied it was given several light coats of a gloss lacquer and the centre turned away. This is Piece provides a great talking point when we have guests for dinner.

Otter House Door Panel
A bespoke panel of stained glass commissioned by the owner of Otter House designed, produced and installed by Lightworks and featuring hand painted a kiln fired detailing of intertwined otters.

Set of 3 nested bowls with carved rim
These hand turned bowls are made from a Sycamore tree that was removed by tree surgeons in north Manchester. Hand carved texture on rim of all 3 bowls adds a beautiful tactile experience to holding these.
The bowls are a nested set, turned from a single piece of wood. Using a special curved tool to ‘scoop’ the smaller bowls out of the larger one. Truly a unique set, the bowls grain lines up as the bowl sit together as they were grown.
Dimensions: Approximately – 385mm x 105mm 235mm x 65mm 135mm x 40mm
These bowls were turned on a vintage Viceroy lathe, made in Leeds. In the tradition of pole lathe turning, the tool marks are left on the bowls, no sanding is performed, this is to accentuate the tactile surface of the wood. Turned while the wood was green (fresh) and air dried, allowing the natural movement of the wood to form the final shape.
Finished with a hand rubbed food safe linseed oil/beeswax mixture.

Coracle Making
Your chance to make a boat over a weekend!
Tutored by Kevin Grimley an experienced coracle maker you will spend the weekend creating an Ironbridge coracle.
The coracle is made from thin sawn ash laths.
You will weave these laths together then carefully bend upwards to form the sides of your coracle. Once the frame is completed using curved needles you’ll sew on a skin of calico ready for painting with bitumen paint after the course. Once the coracle is completed you’ll make a simple paddle then you’ll learn how to paddle your coracle on the lake in front of Staunton Harold Hall. No-one has fallen in yet but a spare set of clothes may be useful just in case!
A roof rack may be needed to transport your coracle home.
