Description of what you do:
A bit of everything and anything. Woodwork is my hobby and although my main focus is woodturning, I’ve had experience making furniture and other non-turned items. In woodturning, I’m equally comfortable engaging in spindle work or faceplate projects – in timber only or incorporating other materials and/or a range of embellishment techniques. I mainly turn and create for my own interest, but also donate a portion of my workshop time each year to charity causes.

Description of demonstrations:
If you have a specific woodturning topic in mind, I can usually build a demonstration and find a project to suit to the need. Contact me and let’s discuss. I can include the use of pewter in projects or make this the sole focus of a demonstration. Likewise, I can incorporate and talk about various embellishment techniques (paints, airbrush, texture, pyrography). I have an interest in elements of design and form will include generally touch on such aspects relevant to the project at hand.

Distance you are willing to travel:
I am in full-time employment, so my availability is restricted to evenings or weekends, and is also a constraint on my ability to travel. 100km is about the limit for an evening demo. With advance planning it is possible to extend this range, especially where I am traveling for an event and it is possible to combine the two.

Description of what you do:

I am a full time woodturner, teacher of woodturning and the lower North Island dremel demonstrator. I enjoy both the artistic and production sides of woodturning. My works include natural edge, and colour and embellishment (airbrush, pryography, dremel and carving). I turn ambidextrously, so I am able to help with left-handed turners.

Description of demonstrations:

My demonstrations include artistic and production woodturning, form and design, tool skills, colour and embellishment, carving and dremel work. Projects may include cowboy hats, natural edge vessels, thin turning, off-center work, pewter inlays and pyrography, or other projects by arrangement.

My goals as a demonstrator are to share knowledge and encourage inspiration amongst woodworkers and get them to try and push the boundaries. I am willing to demonstrate almost anything given appropriate preparation time. Please contact me to discuss options.

Distance you are willing to travel:

I am willing to travel anywhere in NZ as long as there is a reasonable travel allowence. For longer distances, arrangement of more than one demonstration would be appreciated.
