About My Art

Having taken early retirement and looking round for something to occupy my time, “I turned to wood turning and have been turning ever since.” I specialise in two main areas, Polychromatic segmented wood turning, and hand made pens and letter openers. On my web site at www.compbuild.co.uk you will find many examples of my work. Some of the pen and letter openers are made from exotic timbers while others are made from resins but all are finished using a lathe.

I am also a member of Pendle Wood Turners and Carvers wood club, situated in Burnley Lancashire UK. Here you will find lots of experienced wood turners willing to show you the different techniques used to produce this fine art. A friendly welcome will await you should you wish to join or visit. The wood club web site at www.pendlewoodturners.co.uk provides lots of information about forthcoming demonstration and about the wood club in general.
