"Awesome couple of days with Peter, a wealth of knowledge. Loved how we were all free to be creative and put our ideas to the test. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to add to their skill set or just learn the world of steam bending and working with green timber. "

Phil Garrett reviewed: Introduction to Green Wood Furniture Making - 2 Day Course in South Devon

"This was an excellent course, I was able learn a great range of skills. There is a lot of work to get done in two days but Peter and Toby explain everything very clearly and I felt i had the time I needed to complete everything. It was really great to come away with a stool that I had made myself."
