What a man gets up to in his Shed..!

This woodwork took my eye today in the Uxbridge Library this afternoon.  What amazing work, it was an exhibition from the Middlesex Woodturners Club.. But the colourful work in the corner really attracted me as to how this was done and was so beautiful.  It appeals to my like of ethnic art.... 

There sure are a lot of talented people in the London Borough of Hillingdon.  

I enjoyed looking at all the products that had been wood turned with so much love for the wood and with so much creativity.

It was such a wonderful moment to find that the artist was present that had made this colourful collection. This is Ben, builder by trade but his hobby is to disappear in the shed and do all this wonderful wood turning.  He is so so clever experimenting with different techniques and blending techniques together.  A very imaginative and creative person for sure. 
He was explaining the different techniques from burn etching the wood to drilling and soaking and then colouring... I just love this work and I am sure you my readers are enjoying it too... Ben has a website and facebook page to contact him if you want to learn more or get any of his crafts for your home and gifts for friends..
