Paul has lived and worked in Duncan for 35 years and after retiring from teaching and administration in elementary schools, he has continued to develop his woodturning skills. Paul works mainly on bowls from locally-grown wood, each piece chosen from salvaged trees for its particular grain and colour, so that no two pieces are ever the same. Many of the pieces have natural inclusions of bark, or voids, and these are left to make the bowl as much a piece of art as it is practical. Paul chooses interesting Island woods such as Dogwood, Broadleaf Maple, Western Yew, Yellow Cedar and, of course, garden fruit trees and imported exotics which overgrow their gardens. In addition to bowls, Paul is experimenting with highly-figured Maple to create cooking tools, and serving platters.
Paul sells his craft at the James Bay Market, or from his home by appointment.
