To connoisseurs of fine woodturning John Linek needs little introduction; equal parts artist and philosopher (his favourite thinkers are Thomas Szasz, Erich Fromm and Friedrich Nietzsche), the works of this modern-day Renaissance man stand head and shoulders above the crowd, and make it clear why he well-deserves his reputation of being amongst those at the forefront of shape innovation and design for many years. So it's surprising to learn that his introduction to woodturning was almost accidental. Although trained originally in fitting, turning, toolmaking and welding, John felt for many years that metal was too inflexible a material for any artistic use (he thinks differently now and has some ideas in that area).
