This is my 4th year of woodturning and I live in Hamilton, New Zealand.
I am now retired and regret that I only took up turning in my 70's
After many years of interest in woodcraft - creating kitchen utensils, chess boards and wooden boxes I decided to try my hand at woodturning and have been hooked ever since. I love experimenting and finding new challenges that test my abilities. The idea that woodturning can be both a physical discipline and an artistic rigour adds to its appeal.
My partner Ginny is an accomplished potter and often we combine our efforts.

Welcome to the forum. From what I have seen, some of the countries around the world have some outstanding wood for turning- colors, grain, etc.
 
Welcome to the forum, Richard! Your work is beautiful.
