Darawoodworks artisans Dave and Alison Roberts acquire local woods for their art pieces from storm damage and a network of arborists on the southern Gulf Islands and Vancouver Island. Turning both small and large rough pieces of wood into functional or delicate artistic pieces is a satisfying, creative, and rewarding process. The couple never truly knows how an art piece will turn out until it’s mounted on the lathe and the turning process and the dynamics of the wood takes over. Both Dave and Alison have input and are involved with each piece.
