Northern Woodturners

[Les Symonds]

I'm heading off, up north for a week-or-so, next week and wondered if there are any woodturners with visitor galleries that our members know of. I'll be spending a few days around Carlisle and the borders, then heading off over the Pennines and spending a few days on the Northumberland coast.

      Hi Les It might be worth a look at G&S Specialist Timber and Alpaca Centre Just off the M6 Junction 40 on to  A66 Keswick Road.
      Rolly Munro was demoing when we went about 3 years ago.   They have a wood store   tools  and  accessories  café with a
      small gallery above with some woodturnings and other crafts.

      Philip Greenwood I think is that way or it could be more North Yorks Moors Don't know for sure
                 Were ever you end up have good time

Anything further north than Gloucester is Injun country Go careful up there  and put your van in a circle at night.
Oh and have a good time

Thanks, D&T, for the address....the Alpaca centre sounds ideal. Sal can have a coffee at a wander around the gallery etc etc, whilst I rummage through wood-stocks.

John.....as I'm going so far 'UP' north, at which point along the M6 will I need to adorn my oxygen mask?

We may not let you past the border unless you have a lard sarnie and a pint of bitter on you

Hi Di and Tony....so pleased that you posted this address. I called in and spent an hour rummaging amongst their stock. i bought a Hamlet hollowing tool and a few blanks....so it was all well worth-while.

p.s. ... G&S were somewhat more impressive than the alpacas!
