THE TURNINGPOINT STUDIO

For most of my adult life I have enjoyed working with wood as a hobby. In 2009, after I was made redundant from my engineering job, I saw a chance to turn that interest into a career. This was the beginning of The Turningpoint Studio... It started with a wood-turning lathe in the back room of the home I share with my wife in Whitley Bay. Soon, with the encouragement of family and friends, I was selling my work at craft-fairs in the local area. Heartened by the interest and enthusiasm of customers and browsers, I then took on a regular stall at York's Newgate Market one day per week, selling pieces to locals but also to tourists from all over the world. It's a real thrill to know that there are pieces of my work in places as far apart as Japan, North America,Scandinavia and Australia - not to mention Malton!... bespoke furniture handmade furniture designed and made to your specification. commission the furniture you have always dreamed of.
