Wood turner
Simon Begg
Wood turning and carving is so much more the traditional spindles and floral carvings to Simon. Instead, he has found beauty in the wood through refined form and texture. He specialising in bowls, carved embellishment and German ring turning. A lot of Simon’s creative style has come from nature and then trial and error, trying to push his skill set to a new level as well as create unique works with a flare of his own.
