M. Saban Smith Woodturning

I'm Martin Saban-Smith — woodturner, teacher, and designer based in Hampshire, UK. I share my work at the lathe: projects, techniques, design principles, and the lessons learned along the way. Particularly interested in form, proportion, and exemplary finishing.
🎓 I run The Woodturning School at Garthowen Garden Centre, Four Marks, Hampshire — courses for all levels, from complete beginners to advanced turners.
🛢️ Creator of my own range of woodturning finishes, including the popular Intrinsic Color Collection.
📘 Author of a book on design and proportion in woodturning, using the golden ratio as a starting point.
📍 Near the South Downs National Park, Hampshire, UK.
