The course will start with a brief tour of our woodland which will provide your materials. You will then learn the basic techniques of green wood work - cleaving the green wood and shaping it with a draw-knife on a shave-horse. During the two days you will make a three-legged stool with a solid seat to take home with you and you should have time to make some other simple products.
