Description: Showing some examples of his work with descriptions and explanations. Also metal turning and ropework. Berkshire, UK.
I owe my skills in wood turning, and hence also , a copy of Dave Register's book, practice and experimentation. My most recent work is at the bottom of this page. In helping someone to clear their garden for firewood, one of the things that got cleared was an apple tree. Most of the tree went to a guy at the office who had been turning for ages. But I took the root-ball nominally as firewood. Years later and still unburned, I thought it was a suitable scrap to have a go at turning. Inside I found several things. Firstly I found the graft union between the root-stock and the variety; and in this I found small flints and sand to blunt tools. But the union contained wonderful burrs and colours not normally found in apple. There was also a small amount of spalting. The dead stump of the rootstock which became enveloped by the growing tree is wedged in the base of the bowl - visible from inside and out. On one side are the rings of the trunk, on the other, several rings as roots branch out in different directions.
