Handcrafted in Kent
Shaped by Nature
Timber, individually turned and finished by hand.
Welcome to The Woodside Turner.
I'm Dominic, a woodturner based in Kent, creating unique handmade pieces from carefully selected natural timber.
Every piece starts with the wood. Its grain, colour, shape and natural character. All play a part in deciding what it will become.
Rather than making every piece identical, I enjoy working with the timber and whatever story it gives me — allowing each piece to develop its own character as it takes shape on the lathe.
The timber has its own character.
My job is to reveal it.
From the first cut to the final finish, every piece is shaped by the timber itself.
Crafted Individually
Working by myself in my workshop gives me the freedom to select each piece of timber for its own purpose.
No two pieces of timber are ever quite the same.
A change in grain, an interesting knot, a bark inclusion or a natural variation in colour can completely transform a finished piece.
I don't try to hide those differences. They are part of what makes each piece unique.
