Rotational Matters
Wood Turning
Welcome to Rotational Matters Woodturning
I create useful works of art from wood through woodturning. Using the lathe means my creations are a variation on a cylinder shape from bowls (boxes in woodturner's lingo), and coasters, to spindle based objects like dibbers (planting sticks) and muddlers (to mix your drinks). My workshop in located in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. I usually work with local Maritime Canadian wood.

Many people are curious about the process of woodturning. I have made two videos of me making a beech bowl and a biscuit cutter so you can see some of the process. These are not meant to be instructional videos.
News from the Shop:
April 2025
In early winter, I rearranged the workshop to better accommodate workflow and some space needs. I have been busy working on several commissions: pedestals for renowned sculpturer Chippie Kennedy and a cherry walking stick. The ever-popular biscuit cutter is a staple. Just when I think I have an inventory build-up, a previous customer calls and wants several more to give as gifts.
