Professional Green Woodwork Instruction Since 1985
"A modest collection of hand-tools and a few age-old, easily constructed devices, are sufficient to turn a tree into a hurdle, a spoon, or a strong and elegant chair."

"Working with an elemental material like wood, in the raw, outdoors, in a vibrant green wood, filled with birdsong, with like-minded people, simply makes you happy. The therapeutic and meditative benefits shouldn’t be underestimated, and making chairs from trees cultivates an appreciation of design and beauty. A respect for the past is inherent in using old techniques, and not just preserved in aspic or museum reconstruction. Rather it’s a living continuation, and in some cases improvement of the folk practices of the past." (Tom Ball, Brookhouse Wood assistant 2008).
