A two-day green woodworking course with Peter Lanyon Furniture in Newton and Noss. Peter Lanyon Furniture say it suits beginners and people with some experience.
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.

Questions people ask before booking
Do I need to bring my own tools?
Peter Lanyon Furniture does not state on their page whether tools are provided for this course. Ask them before you book, because a hand woodworking course can assume you bring your own.
Is it suitable for a complete beginner?
Yes. Peter Lanyon Furniture 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.
Is £140 a fair price for this?
Most weekend green woodworking courses on this site cost between £119.89 and £365. At £140 this one sits towards the cheaper end, out of 9 we hold a price for. Price alone will not tell you which suits you: group size and what is included matter as much.
Who do I book with?
You book directly with Peter Lanyon Furniture. Woodwork UK does not take bookings, does not add a fee, and is not paid for the link. They set the dates, the price and the number of places.
