George Lailey
George Lailey (1869–1958) was a craftsman from the United Kingdom, noted as the last professional practitioner of the traditional craft of bowl-turning using a pole lathe.
==Life==
Lailey lived in Miles Green, near the Berkshire village of Bucklebury Common, near Newbury. Both his grandfather, George William Lailey (1782–1871)〔Myres, J. N. "A nineteenth-century ''Grubenhaus'' in Bucklebury Common, Berkshire", ''The Antiquaries journal'', Volume 68: Oxford University Press, 1988, 116〕 and his father William (1847–1912) were also bowl-turners, specialising in the production of bowls and plates from elm wood using a pole lathe.〔Dixon, P. ''The Reading lathe: a link with the Anglo-Saxon migration'' Cross Publishing, 1994, p.12〕 George Lailey was particularly noted for his exceptional skill of turning bowls in a 'nest', one inside another.〔Berryman, R. D. ''Use of the woodlands in the late Anglo-Saxon period'', Hadrian Books, 1998, p.23〕 After being mentioned in Henry Vollam Morton's popular 1927 book ''In Search of England'', Lailey's work became increasingly desirable, and he began signing and dating his pieces.
George Lailey was unmarried, had no children to pass his skills to, and was unable to find anyone who wanted to continue his business. By the time of his death in December 1958 he had for many years been the last practitioner of his craft, and his equipment and tools were given to the University of Reading's Museum of English Rural Life.〔Jenkins, G. ''Traditional country craftsmen'', Routledge, 1978, p.63〕
One contemporary craftsman, Robin Wood, has helped to revive the skill of bowl-turning using a replica of Lailey's pole lathe.〔(The Lailey Lathe ), University of Reading〕
