Location: Moss and Height Spring Wood, Bouth
New for this season, this course is in response to the number of people who have got the green woodworking bug on one of our courses but need this essential equipment to carry on making at home.

Materials: £20 to cover the cost of materials is to be paid to the tutor on the day.
