Back in the days when I briefly had an art gallery in Henley,one of the many talented artists I managed to show was Richard Forgan, a man who has elevated his woodturning to fine art.
Woodturning has been a woodworking craft since ancient times. The Egyptians perfected a technique way back in 1300 BC developing a basic lathe to cut the rotating wood.
Richard has developed this skill with a lathe and also carves and burns the wood to create some amazing pieces,made with absolute precision.
unfortunately Richards site is down at the moment (www.richardforgan.co.uk) but below are a couple of links connected to him. His work is top notch so if you get the chance to see or buy his work then dont hesitate to grab the opportunity.
