Keith Rowley began his woodworking career as a joiner, developing a wide range of woodworking skills from first-fixing carpentry to fine cabinetmaking. Whilst serving in the police force, he continued woodturning on a professional basis. After retiring, he combined his commercial turnery with private courses and was in great demand as a demonstrator and teacher both in the UK and overseas. Sadly, Keith died in 2005 but his life-long wealth of woodturning experience is encapsulated in his writing. Woodturning: A Foundation Course has sold over 100,000 copies worldwide.
