Aldus painting of a wood Bodger sadly a skill and trade that has passed
into the history books!!!
This Wood Bodgers were highly skilled wood-turners that were once common in furniture making towns like High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire!! These men would work in the Beech woods in the beautiful Chiltern Hills!! The term and trade also spread to Ireland and Scotland. The term was always confined to High Wycombe until the recent (post 1980) revival of pole lathe turning with many chairmakers around the country now calling themselves bodgers. Chairs were made and parts turned in all parts of the UK before the semi industrialised production of High Wycombe. Bodgers also sold their waste product as kindling, or as exceptionally durable woven-basket. Bodgers were also famous for making Windsor Chairs!!
