Note: when you create a new publication type, the articles module will automatically use the templates user-display-[publicationtype].xd and user-summary-[publicationtype].xd. If those templates do not exist when you try to preview or display a new article, you'll get this warning :-) Please place your own templates in themes/yourtheme/modules/articles . The templates will get the extension .xt there.

Born and schooled in England, Peter completed a five-year apprenticeship as a Journeyman Carpenter/Joiner. He set out with his box of tools and his bicycle to make his mark on the world. Immigrating to Canada in 1967, he landed in booming Calgary, Alberta, before moving to British Columbia some years later.

Ray started carving canoe paddles when living in Winnipeg. There is little demand for long flexible lake touring paddles here on the coast but his mother has arthritic hands and requested cooking utensils with large oval handles and small blades. Upon using them, many of his family and friends wanted some. Following their enviable "you should sell these" advice he has been doing so for 20 years.

In the 1950's, when Michael Harvey was "just a kid", he built several plywood boats and other things in a primitive shop. He's been doing fairly serious woodworking since about 1980.

Kees lives on the edge of the Lantzville Foothills on Vancouver Island, overlooking Georgia Strait. In his cedar sheltered workshop, he pursues his passion of making beautiful functional items from local and non-endangered exotic hardwoods.Each piece of hardwood is carefully selected for grain and colour configuration, so that no two items are ever the same. A European background and love for elegant simplicity is evident in the clean flowing, organic lines of his pieces.

Rickard, Paul

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.
