Pascal first worked as an electronics engineer, and discovered woodturning quite by chance in a company-organized woodworking workshop. Pascal felt an immediate affinity for this technique and after a few courses started to work as a woodturner while continuing his career in electronics. As the years followed, woodturning progressively became his main activity, and he later left his engineering career to dedicate himself solely to woodturning. “What interested me from the beginning was working with woods that had a very strong grain,” he says. This led Pascal to accidentally discover a unique technique of working the wood to expose its grain, a technique that took him six years to perfect.
