John Hamilton
Wood Worker
I have been working with wood since a young age and still
enjoy being surrounded by it. This can be in my workshop or
outdoors in a forest or plantation. Once the bark is removed
from a branch or I split a log the excitement rises as the
growth rings begin to show the beautiful patterns developed
by nature. No two logs have the same design keeping the
desire to work the wood always fresh. The wood I use is gifted
from various sources, is windblown, or from wood workers
who know of my interest. I am happy to accept small
commissions of turnery
