Following the sell-out success of this course last time, we are pleased to offer a new one-day course: learn how to make a green wood stool. Working with green wood using simple hand tools, by the end of the day you will make a ‘basic’ three-legged stool under the expert tuition of green woodworker Peter Wood.
Green stool making course at Sylva Wood Centre
Course date: 27th October 2018, 9.30am – 4.00pm
- Learn about different tree species and understand why different woods are suitable for different tasks, how growth effects its use, and look at wood suitable for cleaving.
- Learn how to cleave wood.
- Learn basic axe work to rough shape the stool legs.
- Use a shaving horse, drawknives and spokeshaves to shape three stool legs.
