Learn new skills in the woods.. whatever the weather!
Wooden Tom specialises in courses teaching traditional green woodworking – using hand tools and ‘green’ wood that hasn’t been dried or treated in any way. What could be nicer than sitting out in the woods, whittling away in the sunshine, or cosying up by the woodburner with a cup of tea if it’s raining (or snowing), all the while learning new practical skills?!
Have a look at the videos below for an introduction to Wooden Tom’s world, and a speedy tutorial on how to carve a spoon!
Families, corporate groups, birthday parties (all ages!) and stag and hen parties all welcome.
