Dear Helen,
David Collyer might know or remember - seems like there was (still is?) a bloke who turned tulipwood bobbins at Sovereign Hill. I remember going there on a school trip and buying a bobbin there that had been turned by a man in the woodworking 'shop' (he had a lathe obviously), and they were sold I think in the general store.
Yes, that was Graham JOHNSON. I own his very first pair which I love; just pine wood but lovely barleycorn turning which he never did on bobbins again. Graham gave me that pair long before I owned any others.
Sadly Graham developed dementia of rapid onset and died about 4 years ago. It was only last Sunday that I was judging a Senior Star Search with his wife Laurel who remains a dear friend.
