A two-day green woodworking course with Explore The Great Outdoors in Wootton Rivers.
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?
