about
Allan’s first exposure to woodturning was in high school in Cobourg, Ontario, but it was not until after moving to British Columbia in the early 1990’s that he took a serious interest in the craft. He currently belongs to two local woodturners’ guilds as well as the American Association of Woodturners. He loves to demonstrate his craft whenever possible.
He has published many articles in Canadian Woodworking & Home Improvement Magazine.
He is recognized for his specialized goblets with captive rings turned on the stem. These goblets are used for weddings, anniversaries, & other special occasions. His goblets, bowls, hollow vessels, engraved pens, and other pieces are sold worldwide.
Pieces to be used in contact with food are finished with food-safe materials. Many of his pieces become family heirlooms after being purchased.
His goal is to find that special piece of Mother Nature’s natural wood, embellish its grain & coloration to make each piece of his work unique.
