Chris West

Chris West started his woodturning journey at the tender age of 30, in his garage using a Black & Decker drill lathe attachment! His working life has been spent in the Computer Industry.

Voluntary redundancy gave him the opportunity to return to his first love of woodturning.

Chris is a member of two local Woodturning Clubs and has regularly given demonstrations in the UK. He writes regularly for the GMC Woodturning magazine.

He has written two books: Turning Salt & Pepper Shakers and Mills - 30 Projects for Turners of All Levels. Published in the UK by GMC Publications and in the USA by The Taunton Press and

Adding Spice to your Woodturning. 20 Salt, Pepper & Spice Shaker Projects for Woodturners. Published in the USA by Artisan Ideas.
