All about Turning Trees
When I (Pete) retired, I was advised to do something I enjoyed doing in the past. So Lin bought me a wood lathe. We began fashioning gifts and decorative items, and as we become more proficient as wood turners in Bristol, so Turning Trees was born.
At the beginning of my career I completed a 5-year apprenticeship in engineering, and I worked in aerospace engineering for many years, creating parts for Concorde, and other great airliners. I now put as much pride and care into my wood work as I would do for a part on Concorde.
Lin joined me in the business when she retired, taking care of the administration and packing of the gifts, which is just as important as the process itself.
Our aim as wood turners in Bristol, is not only to make extremely good products, which we are proud of, but at a price people will pay.
We believe they are probably slightly under-priced rather than overpriced, and you can be sure you get good value for money with our wood-turned gifts and décor.
We try to use recycled wood as much as possible but also use various exotic hardwoods especially for our pens and higher value items. We are wood turners in Bristol who take pride in our work and hopefully it shows! Have a look through our gallery of some of our wood-turning in action.
