Welcome - an introduction

67143_1472820231923_1576189954_31008866_8118360_nI am a green woodworker, and maker of things who first encountered Bowl Turning through the Association of Pole Lathe Turners and Green Woodworkers. I quickly became fascinated by the art of turning bowls with a foot powered lathe.

My wider interest in green woodworking means that I also produce other greenwood items such as spoons, platters and chopping boards, and enjoy passing on green woodworking skills to others.

I'm probably the first generation to have learned much of what I know indirectly, through resources on the internet. I owe that almost exclusively to the Association of Pole Lathe Turners and Green Woodworkers, and specifically to Robin Wood and to Paul Atkin. They have shared their knowledge most generously, through advice in forums, through videos and photos, and in Nicola's excellent illustrations.

Ultimately though, craft skills are learned by doing, and doing, and doing. I'm always aware that there is more to learn, and so more to do. I hope to share some of that here on the Woodi site.
