...what Mr P does

Meanwhile, in the shed...

Mr P takes bits of wood...




and chops them up...



to put on his pole lathe..



and turn into bowls


Its a miracle of medieval technology!

He went on a pole lathe turning one day course at the Weald and Downland open air museum near Chichester, and was so inspired that he came straight home and took a fortnight to make his very own lathe. 

There's nothing more satisfying than making something with your hands, a quilt or a beautiful bowl.
