Welcome to my website
Navigate by means of the links at the very top of each page or on the left hand side within each section. I hope your stay is a pleasant one - there is plenty to look at.
In Lace Making you will find my (JbT) heirloom quality lace bobbins: East Mids, Rosaline, Bucks, Wire Work, Gimp, Honiton, Collectables and Bobbin-a-Month. In accessories you will find my Porcupine Series© of pincushions, pin-pots, pillow bowls thread tidies and other accessories. Also there are the Old Art© and Rainbow Series© of bobbins and lace making patterns.
Beadwork contains beaded necklaces and other items made by Heather, and patterns for you to make your own.
The Turning and Wood section has hand turned wood bowls, platters and plates, 1/12th scale and miniature items, boxes and other pretty things and spinners, cribbage pegs and other toys. Look at my turned pyrography and carving blanks while you're there, or buy some miniature and 1/12th scale turning blanks, bobbin blanks, pen blanks or lime carving blanks to try it yourself.
The Pen Making section will satisfy your needs if you are looking for hand turned pens or pen blanks. My exclusive JbT Pre-Cut Pen Blanks© come in three sizes: standard, fat and slimline. I also stock horn rollers and antler pen blank sections and am developing the JbT Woodart© range of laminated pen blanks. Full-length blanks are available as standard, fat or slimline.
My Stick Making section offers a comprehensive source of stick making supplies. Here you will find components such as handles, hand turned shanks, collars, handle pre-forms, carving blanks, walking stick kits and ready-to-go sticks. All made by me.
Look in Art for original ACEO or other format watercolour, acrylic or oil paintings by Jean Turner. Current projects and gallery show what I do.
I love Leather Work and offer knife sheaths, knife sheath kits, possibles and belt pouches, and key cases, specs cases and book covers. I also sell braided leads and beaded collars for pets and braided tack. My Falconry page offers hoods, hood stores hand turned hood display stands. and Goretex® braces, anklets, etc.
I do still tie Fishing Flies for trout and grayling - as I make them I will list them here.
