Hi, I’m Ali Laburnum
“My wife would say it’s an obsession—I call it woodturning. Based in the heart of Sussex, I create functional and decorative art from wood that has been given a second chance.
For me, woodturning is about more than just making bowls and kitchenware; it’s about honouring the life of the tree. By partnering with local arborists, I source native timber directly from waste streams, while my exotic pieces are crafted from reclaimed furniture and industry remnants. Furthermore, we are proud to partner with selected timber suppliers who share our ideals when it comes to ethics and sustainability.
Every item tells a story, and I take great care to transform these rescued materials into exceptional-quality pieces designed to be used, loved, and appreciated every day. When you purchase a piece from Laburnum Woodturning, you aren’t just buying a bowl—you’re helping me continue the story of the wood.”
