I am a self employed Woodturner from Tralee Co.Kerry since July 2015. I work mainly with fallen hardwood trees like Ash & Beech and all of my work is freehand without use of templates. My experiences selling through retail outlets has proven difficult and I have recently expanded my business into the area of tuition. My aim is to pull back from shop retail and concentrate on teaching of my craft. To achieve this I need funding. I am a member of the DCCOI and Original Kerry Craft Group
