Dave Appleby - Woodturner

Working with wood and woodturning has always been an important part of Dave Appleby’s life. He spent many hours as a teenager, working in a shed in his family’s back garden on a small lathe, which had an electric drill as motor and drive centre.

Although woodturning was not Dave’s main career it was an integral part of his life and he took every opportunity to increase his skills. His workshop developed over the years and he now has three lathes his favourite being his VB36 Bowl Turning Lathe. In 2001 he made the decision to immerse himself in his woodturning as a full time business.
