About Phil Irons

Born in Sydney, Australia, Phil's first introduction to woodturning came at the age of 13 when his father acquired an old cast iron treadle lathe. After that, woodturning became a serious hobby. Phil decided to become a professional woodturner in 1994 after a six-year stint in the travel industry. Today, he is best known for his vessels and hollow forms with clear, fluid shapes, and flowing lines. Phil is the author of the bestselling, “Woodturning: Two in One,” a project book that has been translated into nine languages. Interestingly, it is the only English language woodturning project book to have been translated into Italian to date! A past president of the Association of Woodturners of Great Britain and a member of the American Association of Woodturners, Phil lives in Warwickshire, England with his wife Cristina; Cirrus, a Pharaoh Hound; and Lola, a Cockerpoo.
