Green Woodworking – Make Your Own Chair/Furniture – £250
Green woodworking: furniture making
Master the basics of green wood furniture making, as you craft a simple, robust, and beautiful three-legged stool from fresh logs. On this course you will learn the key skills and techniques of traditional furniture making, alongside the history and traditions of a centuries-old skill. The course is in three parts: you will start by choosing the wood for your stool, then you will learn how to cleave it down to make “blanks” for the legs, use a shave horse and draw knife, and shape the legs or prepare the wood for the pole lathe (if you want turned legs). Then you will make your seat, by sawing it from a plank, then shaping it using an adze and travisher. Finally, you will learn how to join the legs and seat to complete your stool to take home at the end of the course.
Essentials
- Perfect for beginners, no experience necessary
