Cole Woodturners

We are a family woodturning and woodcraft business established in 1992 initially operating from a reclaimed wooden office block  and trading at the local markets. In 2000 we relocated to an industrial unit in the  market town of Rhayader in Mid Wales close to the Elan Valley.  The beautiful ever changing mountainous landscape of which provides much of the inspiration for our work. We are  on the Register of Professional Turners.

Over the years we have attended many types of event selling our work and demonstrating the craft of woodturning to an ever fascinated public The number of events has been gradually reduced to some of the larger agricultural shows and a couple of wood festivals. Our focus now is trading over the internet with our web site and we have a showroom at the unit which sees quite a number of visitors throughout the year.

We produce popular eyecatching work to suit every pocket and mostly from locally sourced wood.  Our work has a rustic quality keeping the essence of the material and is tactile, sculptural and functional.  Most of our items can be personalised by means of pyrography from keyrings and mushrooms to our ever popular rugby balls. We also do a range of one off gallery pieces such as natural edged fruit bowls and lamps in attractive woods such as yew and spalted beech. Oak signboards for houses, farms and stables are an increasing part of our business which can be ordered and completed at shows or via the website.
