A four-day green woodworking course with Underwoodsman in Chiddingstone. Underwoodsman say it suits beginners and people with some experience.
It runs in a converted farm. Tools, materials and refreshments are included in the price. The day breaks for lunch.
What is green woodworking?
Green woodworking works with freshly felled, unseasoned timber, which cuts far more easily than the dried stuff. It is hand tools, often outdoors, using a shave horse and a drawknife. Chairs, stools, spoons and rakes all come out of this tradition, and it predates sawmills and kiln drying entirely.
Dates, prices and places are set by Underwoodsman, not by us, and can change at any time. Always confirm the details with them before you travel.

Do I need to bring my own tools?
Underwoodsman says tools and materials are provided for this green woodworking course, so you should not need to bring your own. Confirm with them when you book, as kit lists change.
Is it suitable for a complete beginner?
Yes. Underwoodsman bills this course as suiting people starting from scratch as well as those with some experience who want to develop further, so a mixed-ability group is expected.
What if I need to cancel?
Underwoodsman states that a full refund is available up to 14 days before the course starts. We do not take the booking or the payment, so their terms are the ones that apply.
Is £440 a fair price for this?
