Workshop Description

There is nothing more fulfilling and meaningful than to make useful things by hand, especially from wood, the most amazing and versatile renewable resource. • Learn with a qualified designer and experienced manual arts educator to confidently begin your hand tool woodworking journey or add to your existing skill set. • Along the way you will learn all about the timber species being used on the day, and get to use vintage tools and learn about their history and development. • To make your spoon we will start with a spoon blank, and you will find out all about wood grain, structure and how to work it with traditional edge tools. • You will learn the skills to use a spoon maker’s drawknife, wood-body spokeshave, round and flat soled iron spokeshaves, a gouge and a gooseneck scraper. • To finish your spoon, you will learn how to use abrasive paper effectively (if you wish to use it), and how to apply an all-natural hand made woodware finish to seal and protect the wood.
