COURSE LENGTH: ENTIRE DAY

Take a full day to deepen your skills and appreciation for this particular branch of green woodworking. You’ll learn to use a carver’s hatchet, sloyd knife, and hook knife on either green wood or salvaged seasoned timber. This sustainable approach to rare woods like Huon Pine gives you a unique hands-on experience of crafting a beautiful, useful object. We will discuss wood selection and how to follow the grain of the wood to make a strong spoon. You'll go home with a spoon that feels good in the hand and carries the memory of the day. 

COURSE LENGTH: ENTIRE DAY

A one-day woodworking retreat that begins in the forest and ends with a handmade creation in your hands. Learn how to source timber and use traditional woodworking tools to create a stool leg, mallet, rolling pin, or child’s toy. The sense of accomplishment you’ll feel from transforming a green log into a finely crafted object is hard to match—and deeply satisfying. This course will introduce you to all the common tools and techniques used in larger green woodworking projects.
