POSTPONED - An Introduction To Green Woodworking

Come and learn how to make various items using green wood and carpentry tools. You will learn how to use the bow saw, folding saw, hatchet, froe and whittling knife. Items you will have a go at making will include a woodland mallet, spatula and tree branch coat hook. If there is time, we will make other small wood items.
