Robin Wood, bowlturner
the only turner in England specialising in making wooden bowls and plates on a traditional foot-powered lathe
Wooden tableware
Many people use my plates and bowls as everyday tableware. They are sealed with a natural vegetable oil finish and can be washed in hot, soapy water. My on-line catalogue gives availability by mail order and I accept payment by Visa or MasterCard.
Bowls of character
Like the old turners, I use no sandpaper relying entirely on the sharpness of my tools for a good finish. Bowls made in this way have a distinctive character with the marks of the tools being clearly visible, like hand thrown pottery or blown glass.
