Brian starts his day with a bike ride to the corner for the paper (32 km round trip) and then he heads out to the workshop to his lathe. He is often asked how long it takes to make a bowl or platter. His answer is "about an hour or two on the lathe, up to a week for the coats of oil to dry and about 25 years to perfect the technique".
He's a happy guy now that his hobby is his profession. He comes into the cottage from the workshop, excited about the character and figuring in the wood and loves to show me the beautiful bowls and platters that he has created.
