What you will learn
This is a 2 day course so you must make sure you can do both dates as mentioned in the title.
Day 1
You will learn all about green woodworking, how to choose the right wood for goblets and the tools used. You will learn how to use a carving axe and gouge to carve all the components whilst the wood is fresh or green. The components will then be kiln dried overnight.

Axe
The main tool of the course used to shape the bowl, stem and base.
