Woodturning craftsman

Passionate wood turner and pruner, I cut down the trees I turn myself to guarantee ethical felling, carried out according to the rules of the art to offer the best of each wood. I only cut down trees intended to be cut down at private homes or fallen to the ground to give them a second life and make the most of what nature can offer us that is most incredible.

Since I was little, I have been told that I want to do too many things, that I want to go too fast, that I think too much, that I ask too many questions. And yet I have always been looking for answers and to understand the world around me.

As a farmer's child, I passed my baccalaureate in driving and farm management as a logical progression. But my thirst for discovering the world was not quenched. I then obtained my heavy goods vehicle licenses and came to settle in Savoie . A job that I experienced as a "hideout" and which allowed me to dream of wide open spaces through the window of my truck. However, I needed more, to undertake something that, in my opinion, made sense. So I resigned in order to find the path that inspired me.

In 2019, it was the turning point! I tried my hand at woodturning and it was love at first sight, a passion, a vocation. Naturally, I trained here and there to learn all the ins and outs of the trade. I met Peter Pan bois , then L'atelier Trois petits tours , both of which would play a key role in my professionalization process.
And here I am finally ready to take the plunge into the deep end of craftsmanship. This is how " L'atelier tour après tour " was born. With a name that resonates like a mantra for me. Thinking of the child I was; that I still am and who continues to want to create and live at 100 miles an hour, one foot on the brake, the other on the accelerator...

Day after day, round after round ,
