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:
November 2024
We just finished the "double booked" craft show weekend and are pleased with our crafts shows. We have been gratified by the repeat customers we have seen. This week I'll be back in the shop to replenish before next week's craft show. I also have a new, slightly unexpected product. Not too long before the Dartmouth Handcrafters Guild 50th Anniversary Craft Show, they announced a competition for Christmas trees so I thought I would try to see if I could make a tree or two. We did a photo shoot with a friend's felted animals. I think I am close to optimizing the process for making the dough whisks (for sourdough).
