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 have finished with Christmas shows for the season. Thank you for support at these. I was gratified by the number of repeat customers.

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:
December 2024
Craft shows are finished for the season but I am still in the shop fulfilling orders for people who have wanted that special something for Christmas. Last month, I developed a couple of new products in response to a contest at a craft show and the ornament exchange for the Nova Woodturners Guild. The response at the last couple of craft shows was so positive that they will be making a comeback next Christmas. We did a photo shoot of the Christmas trees with a friend's felted animals. I discovered that I had not taken a picture of the ornament separately so below is a cropped picture from my last craft show.
One of my nieces lost her beloved dog and asked me to create a cremation urn so this week so I have been in the shop retrofitting a piece so it could have a turnable lid.
