Welcome to the Stiles & Bates website!
As hobby woodturners and woodworkers ourselves, we at Stiles and Bates woodturning and hardwood supplies have always set out to have a real treasure trove for woodturners and craftspeople from our ever increasing stock of home-grown and exotic timbers and blanks through to lathes, bandsaws and other woodworking machinery, tools, accessories, chucks and finishing products.
And we back them all up with enthusiastic and knowledgeable service!
We have dealerships with Robert Sorby, Record Power, Chestnut Products, Planet, Liberon, Craft Supplies, Crown Handtools, Microclene, Banner Hardware, Ashley Iles and others, and will be adding a compressive range from the long established Charnwood machinery and tooling range to our 2008-2009 catalogue.
We compile and publish a FREE Mail Order Catalogue once a year.
Our 2007-2008 version (No 8) is available to woodturners and woodworkers all over the UK and will be replaced with version 9 sometime around October 2008.

Our Online Shop
We like to think that our online shop is an electronic version of our comprehensive shop which nestles among the farm buildings at Upper Farm, but our friendly service remains the same, so do email us if you have any queries and we will do our best to be of help.
Our new facility of asking you to register delivery details will help us process our increasing online orders even more quickly and allow you to log into your password protected account and check progress and past order history.
If you have an queries on our registration process, we hope our Registering FAQs page will answer them all.
By popular request we have also added a new Search facility in the online shop.
Online orders, postal mail order and walk in customers have increased steadily over the years and although we thought last year was busy, but this past year has been hectic and fun too.
We know that much of this came as a result of your kind references, either by word of mouth or via woodworking and club forums and we do appreciate it.

| Our Courses
Woodturning is a craft which has seen a huge rise in popularity in recent years, and like carpentry and cabinet work, is not just for the boys!
It is creative, absorbing, affordable and does not require a huge workshop.
We hold beginner/refresher courses designed to give or refresh the basic skills so you can go back to your own workshop and create beautiful and practical items from simple pieces of wood.
For those who have mastered the basic cuts and wish to explore or improve techniques on specific projects, we have a series of one day project courses.
The only limit is your imagination!
