John Davis Woodturning


I visited this place yesterday:


John Davis is a registered professional woodturner and a stockist of a wide range of wood, acrylics, tools, finishes and equipment for the wood turner.
His gallery in the rural setting of beautiful Hampshire, England, affords the visitor a glimpse of his artistic work and other products.
John carries a wide range of turning blanks in both native and exotic timbers as well as importing quality Australian Burrs.

That's directly from his website introduction. I went to Stockbridge to see if John had any hardwoods suitable for shaving brush handles. I came away with some Tambootie African hardwood and some Onyx.

This place is well worth a visit. A wide variety of materials and goods. And it was a pleasure to meet and talk with John.

Coffee and cakes with Ruth in Stockbridge before returning home.

Next stop, Brian my local woodturner to discuss more brushes.
