About the Author:
Mike started turning professionally in his garage in 1979. A year later he moved to a leased workshop in the inner-Sydney suburb of Chippendale. As the business expanded, eventually employing 5 turners and a cabinetmaker, it moved to larger premises in nearby Alexandria. Mike Darlow Woodturning undertook every type of turning work including restoration, replacements, patternmaking, and architectural and furniture components. The two main specialties were columns up to 6 metres long, and lamps. Giftware, gallery and craft items, and pieces for interior designers were also important. The business had twenty-one lathes, both hand and automatic, and much special equipment was developed. The depth and breadth of the woodturning experience thus gained is reflected in the wealth of detail and practical discussion in Mike’s publications and magazine articles.
Mike also produced pieces for exhibitions held by the Woodworkers Group of NSW, and two one-man exhibitions: the first at the Old Bakery Gallery in Sydney, the second at Canberra’s Red Hill Gallery.
Mike works are included in the collections of the Powerhouse Museum, Sydney; the Pinto Collection, Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery, UK; Rockhampton Art Gallery, Queensland; Boston Museum of Fine Art, USA; and the National Museum of China.
