About Me
I am a pole lathe turner, (turning both “spindle”and bowl products), based in Newbury, West Berkshire. I have been working for over ten years at my craft and enjoying every bit of it. I am very passionate about my craft and love imparting my enthusiasm for it to anyone who wishes to listen and or learn.
My working life started as a woodland worker on the Stratfield Saye Estate in the late 1980's and as such instilled a love of the woodlands and all their associated crafts.
I am a member of the Association of Pole-lathe turners and I look forward to meeting more like minded individuals, whilst sharing ideas and experiences. Why not come and join us!
I will be adding to my green woodworking skills base over the winter months and will constantly add new products and services as I feel that they meet my high standards, and yours.
This is just a short “hello and welcome” please feel free to browse the site and contact me if you need anything. A list of courses is now available, but if you need that special something made please feel free to contact me.
Please keep in mind however that I WILL do everything that I can to help you in a timely fashion, but I AM only human and doing this between looking after my children. BLESS ‘EM. :0)
Kindest regards,
Simon Vowell.
