| Description | NB: This is a 2 day course over one weekend - 19th & 20th November 2011. Green Wood is freshly felled, still sappy wood. To work it requires a set of simple techniques based on an understanding of how wood reacts - both to the tools, and to the dry and shrinking process. Because it is green, the wood is soft and easy to work with hand tools, and because of this, green woodwork creates little waste, and can utilise small trees and logs. It is therefore green in all senses of the word. Rustic chairs are made from rounds of Hazel wood in its natural form. Ash seats are made from slats, using Green wood. This makes a basic rustic chair, and is more involved that the basic stool making course. This is a great course that anyone can do - with little or no experience. Cost: £120 - Refundable up to two weeks prior to course (minus £30 admin fee) No refunds for cancellations within two weeks of course |
