Welcome to Ken Crittle's gallery. Here you will find something for everyone - and all executed with consummate
craftsmanship. Ken produces some of the work which others in the club would wish to emulate and aspire to.

First of all here's a sphere made from reconstructed
timber (a parallam beam). This was entered into the AWGB instant gallery
at a previous year's Seminar and was chosen to go as one of the 57 top pieces
to travel to shows around the country on the AWGB stand.

This is a piece which Ken submitted to the AWGB Loughborough Seminar 2011. This one's made from Boxwood. |
|
Now some "Drunken Boxes" as Ken calls them . . .

Now you wouldn't think Ken would be the type to be out making crop circles. Well he has been - in his workshop. You can't see much of the detail in the picture on the left so I've enlarged it a bit for you in the picture on the right. The timber Ken used was London Plane.

And a pewter-rimmed bowl. This has been patiently crafted from London Plane.

The following pieces are some of Ken's previous work.

Now how about some pendants to add the finishing touch to that glamorous outfit. Starting from the left, these are made from Lacewood, Padauk, African Blackwood (branch wood), African Blackwood again and Pau Amarello.

|
And last but certainly not least, here's some delicate, detailed work. Lace bobbins from numerous different species of timber. It's nice to be able to make things for fellow crafters from time to time.

Ken entered a nest of bowls into the Association of Woodturners of Great Britain (AWGB)'s open gallery in 2007 and they were selected as one of the "Top 50" pieces which form part of the AWGB's touring exhibition. Congratulations Ken!
