Many of my greenwood carved items are available for sale through my shop.
Commissions for spoons, bowls, barkwork and bushcraft knives welcome.
Carving spoons is an excellent way to learn about carving with an axe and knife. It's also fun, satisfying, and relaxing. I run workshops for groups and individuals, and sell my work in the shop.
Progress from spoon carving, and use a few more simple hand tools and skills. From tree to finished drinking cup or bowl for your everyday items, you will be shown and practice the whole process.
Many British trees are suitable for making items for the camp or home. Join us on relaxing workshop learning about natural cordage & containers, or view the unique items available in the shop.
