From Canada: Turnings by Rob Tukham, RJT Miniatures

Rob Tukham of RJT Miniatures, Canada has been creating turnings since 1999. His materials have expanded to include exotic hardwoods, acrylics, brass, soapstone, aluminum, and tropical palm nuts. He also makes the occasional garden bench, Japanese style table, and other interesting pieces. His wife Kate does the photography, setting up of show displays, etc.  rtukham@telus.net, http://rjtminiatures.com
