Caroline Dorling: Woodturner

Wood is a wonderful medium to work with. Some such as Sycamore cut like butter, whilst others like Padauk are hard and dusty but shine up beautifully once waxed. I have access to an extensive range of English and exotic hardwoods. I choose pieces for their inherent vibrancy of design and contrast in colour and texture and some of them even shimmer! I prefer to work this way rather than distress or colour up wood.

If you would like to see my work, I work from home and I sell at craft fairs.

Also, if you give me enough time, I can work to your design and individual specification. I am happy making bowls, platters, lamps, candlesticks, boxes etc., using your wood or mine.
