Hi all This is the latest in the series I have been working on for a while and enjoy re-visiting. This one is 170mm dia x 90mm high. Continuing with my interests in far eastern philosophies with including this within each piece I am trying to tweek the design and move further away from the...

Hi all This piece is a marquette for larger pieces of varying sizes and forms. It stands around 280mm high by 80 mm dia. The idea has been in my sketch book for some time now so I thought I should get on and make some. The base is not the intended/final base as this will be changed for...

This piece I am working on is not a new idea but a re-visit. The texture and base colour have been applied but at this stage ( again) Ihave mixed ideas about where to take it. The addition of a simple lid, finial and bead may be all that is needed and I may keep it close to a previous...

This wide rim bowl is another piece that has been sitting on the shelf for some time while I work out how to proceed. There is a strong Philip Streeting influence in this piece which is no surprise as I greatly admire his work. However I want to try to add my own identity to it so it is back...

This box is 90mm dia x 70mm high. Inspired by the Japanese tea ceremony caddy. The inside is natural with the outside being achieved with various painting techniques. I am afraid that I do not have any pictures of the interior but you will see this in due course.

Hi all I was searching through my old paper work and found this picture ( which was taken in the old fashioned days of 35mm) So I scanned it to show. Hence why the pic quality is not that good. It was a lovely piece of burr maple. 250mm dia x 300mm high approx from memory. It was turned...
