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.

2026 Events for Rotational Matters
I have finished the five shows for the 2025 Christmas Craft show period and am making plans for the 2026 Craft show schedule. 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:
June 2026
I am getting back to routine now. I was very lucky to be able to take a woodturning course in Australia (where my woodturning adventures began) in May along with my friend Todd, who had taken that first course with me. This time we took a course with Ian Twaites in Margaret River, Western Australia. We did a day of green turning and one of hollow form turning. I was able to do some more green turning (more mushrooms) after a strong wind tore a branch off the neighbour's tree a couple of weeks ago. I haveeb been working on building up my inventory for Christmas Craft shows that will be starting in a few months.
