interest in all forms of woodwork . He joined the British
Woodcarvers Association and the Association of Woodturners of Geat
Britain on their formation, and is a founder member of the West Pennine

general wood turning..
Colins's main interest now is making wooden toys and puzzles using
fretwork, woodturning and carving as elements, although his carving
skills are miminal. When asked what he does with his time,
Colin replies "I fiddle with bits of wood and thoroughly enjoy myself"
