Surely any turner with public liability insurance covering teaching could accommodate. In the club I belonged to when in Cornwall the treasurer was in a wheelchair and we had a lathe that was  permanently lowered for him. We also had a blind turner who had an assistant but that was all. To the best of my knowledge the normal PLI doesn't negate disabled people. Pity he lives so far from Wiltshire or I would be happy to give him a days tuition free.

Always interesting to see what people do with logs and always a good opertunity to leave a natural (wainy) edge.

Shame the spalting was so little it makes for a completely different piece visually.

Well done on getting a local store to show your wares, I'm assuming they sell them for you as well.

I reckon the old logs came up a treat. Well done Woody a bit more spalting would have been some more icing on the cake
