"Thanks Maurice for a really enjoyable day. Very pleasant company with Martyn and Sally, and three fine bowls at the end of the day. Most satisfying - I would recommend. "

Paddy McGowan reviewed: Pole lathe turning taster day: bowl turning

"I had a great day doing this course, a present from my wife, and would definitely recommend it to anyone who likes the idea of making something by hand. Maurice is a great teacher with plenty of patience and a helping hand to make sure you have a good experience and hopefully walk away with something that looks like the object you intended to make. To get that object (a bowl) though, you need to do the work as the blisters on my fingers and tired legs will testify. Despite all that, its a real pleasure to see the final product taking shape and then show it off to the family. Now for the final touch to take off the rough edges, "pass the sandpaper please""

Touch Wood responded:

"Glad you enjoyed it Paddy!"

Roger Boyles reviewed: Pole lathe turning taster day: bowl turning

"Fantastic course. Loved the woodland setting. Maurice and Jon were great hosts and very knowledgeable and helpful. We loved the pole lathes and both managed to make bowls that we are proud of. The promise of “Camping available “ might be better described as wild or rough camping available with little or no facilities. Otherwise we were very happy. Roger and Polly Boyles. "

Touch Wood responded:

"Thanks Roger and Polly, I’m glad you enjoyed your bowl turning day. I take note of your comments and will amend the description regarding camping so people know what to expect. Maurice "
