Jim Lorriman

Born in Toronto in 1947, Jim Lorriman has pursued woodworking from a young age. For the past ten years he has been applying his skills full-time as a self-taught woodturner in his Mulmur Hills, Bits & Pieces Studio, near Mansfield, Ontario.

Different kinds of woods pass through the door of Jim's studio - stair railings, window frames, siding, hockey sticks, old boat parts, lathing and dock cedar. He works his magic and this wood begins a new life as one of Jim's creations.

From Jim's notes...

I was commissioned by one of the current residents of St. Helena Island to make some pieces from wood from a 106 year old cabin. I fulfilled the requirements of the commission and still had plenty of wood left over. My customer graciously consented to my request to use some of this wood for the "History in the Making" project. Notice the rich patina of the pine and the original surface that I have left on the rim.

Approximately 14 inches in diameter.
