John Birdsall Woodturner

Bowls and vases, often with natural-edge, depicting the natural beauty of the wood. Yorkshire, UK. Woodturning has been around for many centuries as a tool of the cabinet maker to embellish his work, or in its own right for the manufacture of utility items. In many of these instances the beauty of the wood is often lost to the design of the turning, in fact in some instances turned finials on clocks or knobs on furniture are actually painted.
