DUNMOW, Ted
Edward J Dunmow, known as Ted Dunmow, was born in Essex and lived there until moving to Sudbury, Suffolk around 1990. Ted worked in mechanical engineering until taking early retirement when he obtained a lathe and taught himself woodturning and other related woodworking skills. His current woodturning now forms a lesser part of the finished items, with much attention still being paid to the form and proportion of the work. More time is now spent on the colouring of the pieces which Ted has developed his own style and methods of application using spirit dyes, acrylic paints and metallic finishes and when the colouring is completed the pieces are coated with finishing oil or clear lacquer before going through a burnishing and polishing process to achieve their final lustre. He exhibits with Mill Tye Gallery and elsewhere.
