Hi I'm Richard thanks for looking at this bio. I'm English living part of the year in Scotland the rest in Durham UK! I'm lucky to have two workshops and turn on either a vb36 or a jet/powermatic 3520b my work is not functional I see myself as creating more artistic pieces to functional. I employ a lot of carving texturing and piercing in my work. I have been working professionally with wood since about 2004 and I run a tiny gallery up in Argyll during the summer months. I recently began doing demonstrations and its an area I hope to expand on a little in the coming years. I love photography and spend a lot of time trying to take the perfect picture of my work. I have a beautiful Labrador called Jasper and between him and the workshop I spend most of my time!
