Bruce took his first cut through the rough dirty exterior of a piece of timber to reveal the beautiful grain underneath and was captivated. It was at that moment that he decided to learn woodturning as his hobby. He has now also branched into resin and pyrography art. New to Woodturning, Bruce has started out with pens, keyrings and bits and pieces. He just can’t wait to see where it takes him on his journey. Manipulating the colour and patterns in the wood to complement the form, along with the texturing and turning to create the piece. Let’s face it “Wood is Good”. Bruce is inspired by many natural things and looks forward to seeing the finished piece. Using fresh cut logs in his work, the wood is a very direct and responsive medium, with properties that are unique not about the "woodiness" but the working qualities that it has.
Bruce has his workshop at the studio and has so many pieces of equipment to enable him to make such a variety of pieces. All individual with its own appeal. The wood he uses takes on a unique form under his guide.
