I've been busy! Partly with making this new for the next set of Rustic Milking Stool courses. I followed plans from .manney and Curtis Buchanan: Windsor Chairmaker - still a few extras to add to get it working sweet (anyone have any leather offcuts??).

Excited to test it out later - I'll be making a stool for sale so get in touch if you're interested, I'll post pics when I'm done with it 🤗

Also, spot my new favourite - it's a beauty! Thanks to Sean Hellman Woodwright Designs who made it (it arrived so very sharp and ready to use) aaand to the lovely Peter Lanyon Furniture who suggested Sean's work to me... see my stories for my new favourite book 👀🔪

Whew! Shoutout central today... feeling grateful for such a brilliant community to share this work with 🌳

The 'Creative Woodworking' course is a great opportunity to try your hand at woodworking... and if you already know a thing or two, you will have open access to your own set of professional hand tools to create your chosen project with guidance throughout the day.

During our day in the workshop we will touch on topics such as design, using hand tools, machinery and 'reading the grain' of the timber to successfully guide you through your handmade project.

Choose from a variety of beautiful hardwoods supplied by Hardwoods and take home something totally unique. ✨💛

Earlier this year I had the 'Rustic Stool Making' courses running outside. Here are a few great shots of students getting stuck into the making of their own three-legged stools.

I love seeing how different each finished piece turns out, thanks to all of the wonderful students, I hope you enjoy your amazing creations! 🌳🤩

Stay tuned for the release of my autumn/ winter course dates...
