Once upon a time.....
Clive Durose began his interest in woodwork after leaving school at 16. A hobby of woodturning became an obsession which saw him develop into a Master Craftsman. At 18 years old Clive started his business, Clive Durose Woodturners, providing woodturning services to Joinery and Furniture customers. Specializing in stair parts, he continued to expand his knowledge of woodworking. In those formative years, he trained apprentices in the skills he had acquired. Incorporated in 1988, and over the next few years, Clive won awards for business and innovation. Not content to rely solely upon traditional skills, he acquired and learned how to use high tech CNC machinery to reproduce intricate shapes time and time again. Underpinning the use of modern processes with time served knowledge helped maintained the quality and integrity of his products.
