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.

2024 Events for Rotational Matters
I am booked at both the Dartmouth Handcrafters Show, November 8-10 at the Zatzman Sportsplex in Dartmouth, and on the same weekend at the Nova Scotia Art and Craft show, November 8-9 at the Cedar Event Centre in Clayton Park. It will be a bit of a trick but Mrs. Rotational Matters is going to host one of them while I am at the other. There will be different products (bowls, etc.) at each so you may want to come to both shows. They are both quite good shows with great hand crafted products, and well worth attending.
If you wish to buy something you see here online, please contact me at turner@rotational-matters.ca
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:
August 2024
Just finished a week's vacation in Prince Edward Island (combined with delivery of the ever-popular biscuit cutters). Now it is time for more concentrated time in the shop getting ready for this fall's shows. I received additional feedback on my prototype sourdough whisk from a neighbour who has multiple jars of it on the go. So look for this to be added to the product line. What won't be added to the product line is a Celtic knot design rolling pin. If you love the design, you'll just have to buy the dibber!
