Robin Wood is an English wood turner who makes reproductions of early wooden dishes using the traditional springpole lathe. The article is brief but well-illustrated with photos of Wood making a lathe from oak logs, and with a few pictures of his wares including 15th-century german dishes and bowls copied from examples found on the Mary Rose. He also discusses the lathe chisels he forged himself. His low-tech approach to his work is very interesting - it is even lower-tech than I suspected. Definitely worth a look.
