Featured Maker
This month we are featuring work by Liz and Michael O’Donnell on our home page. These bowls were made from local sycamore during a retreat at Freswick Castle in Caithness and inspired by the legends and environment of the ancient Norse Castle. This year they will be guests at the Irish Woodturners Guild Annual Seminar and will publish a fourth book on woodturning in early 2008.
