David Springett's interest in woodturning began when he was a woodwork
teacher. By reading every one of the few books then available,
experimenting, practising and persevering, he slowly improved his
skills. Since leaving teaching nearly 20 years ago, he has earned his
living doing what he enjoys most, turning wood.
At the end of a working day, spent turning highly decorated lace bobbins
in the traditional English style, he would allow himself the relaxation
of experimental turning. From this developed the fascination with the
apparently impossible and somewhat improbable in turned wood.
David and his wife Christine live in Rugby, Warwickshire, where they are
enjoying a hectic semi retirement, gardening, writing books and doing
all of the other things they never had time for.
