Handturned home goods
Our Turn Woodcraft was established in 2010 after a series of workshops turned interest into passion for David and Shirley Stapley. Their new found appreciation for their craft took them abroad to Hawaii to learn how to turn traditional calabash bowls and to Ireland to make replica Viking platters and bowls.
Additionally, David and Shirley work as beekeepers and promote local and natural bee products to use on their products.
