Description
This one-day course is a great introduction to green woodworking methods to make furniture. You'll learn how to use hazel round wood to make a rustic stool, using traditional tools and techniques. You'll get to use a shave horse, drawknife, hand-drills and tenon cutters to make the different components. You will then be guided through the process of cutting, drilling and assembling the frame, and weaving the stool seat. At the end of the workshop you'll have a stool to be proud of and some new skills!
