handturned Bowls, Platters & Furniture
Brian Markham is a woodturner in the rugged Muskoka landscapes near Algonquin Park. He turns bark covered burls on his lathe to reveal unique grain patterns, rich variations in colour and natural raw edge. In his workshop deep in the forest on beautiful Rebecca Lake, Brian celebrates nature as he creates his bowls, platters and tables.

FROM THE ARTIST
“The tactile nature of burl art creates a sense of pleasure and an appreciation of texture in a handcrafted piece. You enjoy the brilliance of the wood, its natural colour and grain and it presents your food beautifully.”
