Robbie Graham
His original award-winning woodturned art pieces are distinctive in style, showing particular attention to the finish. His magnificent pieces are enhanced with subtle touches of acrylic paint and patinas, giving an attractive textured appearance to his woodturning. My woodturning style ranges from elegant hollow vessels, finely turned ornaments and unusual multi-axis works.
Robbie's wood working skills are featured in Episode 3: Flow.
