just found this tread- Madrone is the wood Johannes Mitchelson ( might be spelt wrongly) uses to turn his wooden hats. He turns it wet and sizes them to fit your head! Really impressive to watch as well. Worth a look- http://www.woodhat.com/ |

I have heard of him mentioned as 'the real' hat turner , who 'invented' it :thumbup: Seeing this post just made me think Wes has not posted for a long time , I wonder if his Penny Farthing bike finished ? Cheers Mick. |

Johannes Michelsen’s (spelling copied from his site) hats sure seem to have made a name for him far and wide. A lot of good reading and information there. :D :D Powder Keg if your reading this you might want to check out this link above. :) Cheers :beer: Don |

Worth looking at Andrew Hall's site (http://hallwoodhats.com/introduction/index.htm ) , who got the idea from Johannes and has developed his own style in the UK. He's based around Durham. He will be at Newark in March I think and is always at the Harrogate show. Hope Wes is still turning it on..? |
