The Eyhorne Street Woodturner

David Cheeseman RPT

I am a woodturner who lives in the village of Hollingbourne in Kent, England, I initially turned for pleasure, but now my output is such that I enjoy selling my work from my home, where you are invited to view the pieces privately.   To arrange a visit please telephone me on 0788 406 8912.  

I also sell at Fairs and Exhibitions, and in Rye, East Sussex, at  'Wood'N'Things', and in the local village shop in Hollingbourne, Kent where there are a limited number of pieces on display.  

My name is on the Register of Professional Turners held by the Worshipful Company of Turners in the City of London.   Acceptance onto the register is by invitation and judgement by a panel of peers who ensure the highest standards of  work and professionalism are met.   It is the only professional body in the UK and enjoys a world wide reputation. 

I am also a member of the Association of Woodturners of Great Britain  and secretary of Kent Woodturners a branch of the A.W.G.B.

I use predominantly local sourced woods; Elm, Beech, Yew, Oak, Laburnam, Sycamore, Acacia, Apple, Pear, Plum and the like to turn objects which are both useful and decorative.

Pieces of my work have travelled far and wide eg: Zimbabwe, Canada, Germany, France, Spain, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Guernsey and of course here at home in the United Kingdom. 

Whilst as a turner I like to be as creative as possible I appreciate that the majority of my customers want an article which is both decorative and useful and that is the market at which I aim.

I do turn items which are purely decorative and accept limited commission based work.

You will observe from looking at the photographs of my work that I turn a number of pieces that are either natural or bark edged they, together with larger hollow forms give me a great deal of satisfaction.

I will try to update this site regularly to ensure that my latest work can be seen. 

If any pieces interest you please do not hesitate to contact me either on the telephone number above or by email:- (thewoodturner@talktalk.net)   You are always free to give me a call to arrange a visit and view my current stock.
