Fresh from the Bowl Shed
The lathe hums year-round, but not every bowl makes its way to the spotlight. This page holds a few select turnings—pieces that carry the scent of fresh shavings, the rhythm of the season, and the quiet stories that emerge from wood newly awakened.
These are not all the bowls I’ve made—just a few that speak to the moment. If you're browsing from afar or passing through in person, these are the turnings that might catch your eye.

Six BOWLs, one tree, one log
Eliburn Contrast
Cherry from the Eliburn reservoir tree, shaped into a gentle form with a bright mussel shell rim.
The First Shift of Autumn
The oak that fell at Williamston Primary never reached its next autumn, but the colours it would have carried live on in the rim of this bowl. This first image holds the quiet beginning of the idea — a way of giving the tree the season it never saw.
Eliburn Red Oak Bowl
Shaped from a fallen ornamental Red Oak in Eliburn Park, this bowl carries the soft, warm grain the species is known for. The first image holds the quiet honesty of the timber — reclaimed, steady, and full of gentle colour.
Eliburn Red Oak Bowl
Hollowform turned from sycamore recovered from a storm‑driven debris buildup on the River Clyde. The timber carries the marks of its journey — water‑worn, pale, and full of quiet character
