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.

I have just been on the above site and it is is well worth a visit. 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:

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..?
