PROSPECTS delivered an Introduction to Green Woodworking at Huncoat East woodland.
The course involved learning about green woodworking tools, using these tools to make a mallet and spatulas from Norwegian Maple and Hazel wood which was felled as part of PROSPECTS woodland management work programme.
Woody CIC Volunteer Mark was on hand to demonstrate pole lathing with participants having a go!
Thanks to The Heritage Lottery Fund for making this workshop possible through their generous funding of the Habitats & Heritage – Hyndburn’s Woodlands project.
Below is some feedback from the participants:
This has been a fantastic opportunity to learn about Green woodworking. It was so much fun. The staff were so welcoming and helpful. I would definately attend another woodworking event.
be good to see further projects added like small stools, maybe spoons and shrink pots ?
Love to do more construction projects using green woodworking techniques.
