Stuart King, is from High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, U.K. Besides the salon showing his own extraordinary work, this is his third salon here in the E-Museum showing decorative art works of a wide variety from his private collection. These were acquired during his extensive travels researching the rural past at home and abroad. This salon like the previous two of decorative art from his collection, is cross-referenced in the Traditional and Folk Art Hall.

An artist in his own right, Stuart King combines pyrography, color, and piercing on his own beautifully turned wood pieces, examples of which are on display linked here in his own E-Museum Salon.

In addition, his own excellent website Stuart King: Artist Craftsman in Wood, offers the visitor a sampling of his many talents as artisan, artist, demonstrator, photo-journalist, and lecturer.

Stuart King showing his own work was featured in the September/October 2000 issue of Pyrograffiti in the Woodcarvers Online Magazine (WOM).
