Hopefully some of the links here will be of use to you. I am often asked where to find turning related suppliers, groups etc. and that was the reason behind starting the list. Feel free to contact me with details of other woodturning related sites you think may be of use to other turners. Some suppliers appear on more than one list because they have considerable presence in both areas!
