Wonderful Woodturning: Ken Broadland

Event Description

Woodturner Ken Broadland worked as a Conservation Officer on southern Vancouver Island for 29 years before retiring in 2002. He started woodturning as a hobby in 1991. His main goal in turning wood is to present the wood's beauty in a useable form. His specialty is large salad bowls and servers, with a supporting cast of other creations such as cutting boards, kitchen implements, small bowls, coasters, cremation urns, artistic bowls, and whatever else catches his interest. Designs are simple and practical. The wood Ken uses is salvaged from around the Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island.
