Carnoustie woodturner John Dowie creates handcrafted wooden pieces full of character, craftsmanship, and individuality.

Working with reclaimed Scottish wood alongside beautiful olive wood sourced from Crete, John hand-turns a wide range of homeware and gifts including bowls, vases, candleholders, ornaments, and more.

His popular porridge spurtles have become a favourite with customers, while his charming little wooden mice regularly appear on cheeseboards at Christmas time.

Because each piece is handmade and shaped by the natural grain of the wood, no two items are ever exactly the same - making every creation completely unique.
