The English Woodturner

Hand Crafted Beauty

Spirit of Christmas, New Castle, DE

Thank you to everyone who visited my tent at the Spirit of Christmas event in New Castle on December 14th. It was an excellent but extremely cold day! Everything worked very smoothly, so a big thank you to the organizers. The photo across was taken as we packed up from The Green which was an idyllic setting for the vendor space.

For my ETSY shop, I add new items from time to time. Clicking the link below will take you there.

In the mean time, if there is a custom project you have in mind, then please don't hesitate to contact me to discuss.

Cheers, Tony

'Turning' the beauty of Wood into Treasured Keepsakes

Woodturning is a truly captivating art form that showcases the inherent beauty of wood. With skilled hands and a creative mind, woodturners transform raw pieces of wood into exquisite, one-of-a-kind objects. The process involves mounting a block of wood on a lathe and shaping it by carefully cutting, carving, and sanding. As the wood spins on the lathe, its natural grain patterns come to life, revealing a mesmerizing display of color and texture. From elegant bowls to intricate sculptures, woodturning allows artisans to explore the unique characteristics of each piece of wood, creating stunning works that blend craftsmanship and nature. The tactile nature of wood, combined with the endless possibilities of design, make woodturning a truly beautiful and versatile art form.
