Green Woodworking (Making rustic furniture)
Green woodworking, also known as "Bodging" is one of our passions. Working with fresh cut wood you will cleave (split) the timber with a shingle froe, shave it with a draw knife while sitting on a shaving horse, and join it by creating mortice and tenon joints - yes this is from the era before nails!
Depending on what you are making you may also turn a component on a treadle lathe. All tools and techniques emanating from the "pre-electric" era.
Half Day Course $ 100.00 ea Runs either 9 - 12.30 pm or 1.30 - 5 pm (Minimum 4 persons)
You choose to make either: - A set of kitchen spatulas
- A Four pronged Survival Spear
- A one off rustic Coat hanger
- A wall Coat rack with shaved pegs
Full Day Course $180.00 ea. (Prices valid till 31 March 2021)
You choose to make from: - Slab top four legged rustic stool
- Small bedside slab top table.
- Set of kitchen spatulas
- Wall Coat Rack with shaved pegs and shelf
