Capturing the essence of wood

-

Woodturner Glen Poultney has always had an interest in woodturnin­g but it wasn’t until retiring to Katikati three years ago that he found the time to develop it.

Woodturnin­g has now become his passion. Glen loves seeing the texture and grain of the wood come to life before his eyes. He says if he can capture that in a complement­ary design or shape, then he’s had a pretty decent day, even more so if that piece also gives pleasure to someone else.

A member of the Hauraki Woodturner­s’ Club, Glen is grateful for the help and tuition he’s received therewhich has given him the confidence and skill to expand his horizons.

You can see Glen’s work at Kaitkati Art, Craft & Mural shop in Talisman Drive during the month of June.
