David Rodgers

David Rodgers is passionate about wood turning using traditional tools and techniques, creating various forms, such as his lidded containers and vertical forms. He loves working with timber due to both its tactile nature, and appreciating the varying texture and characteristics within the grain of each piece of timber.

He works slowly, using his hands, making a limited quantity of items, from either one-off pieces of wood, or shorter runs from a specific piece of timber, where form and function go together. He is not a factory producing a fixed range of items.

His items are made on a wood turning lathe - machine that spins wood around, he uses cutting tools (gouges, skews etc.) held in his hands to shape the wood - no computer-controlled machines / CNC - just skill learned through years of working with wood.

Full member of Society of Designer Craftsmen and Buckinghamshire Craft Guild.
