“The craft of woodturning has developed into my passion, and the natural beauty that is revealed as you work on a piece never ceases to amaze me…”

Mike lives with his wife in a small village in Bedfordshire and started woodturning in 2011, after watching a YouTube video on turning a bowl. He very soon became hooked and turned his double garage into a workshop.

Mike is a sought-after demonstrator of wood turning, and his YouTube channel is an increasingly popular source of inspiration up and coming wood-turners.
