Learn how to make your own unique green wood stool. Choose between a woven or solid wood seat, and whether to complete your components on a shave-horse or pole-lathe.

You will learn:

  • Design processes
  • Timber selection
  • Traditional green woodwork processes such as cleaving, shaving and turning.
  • How to prepare the components
  • Making mortice and tenon joints
  • Final assembly
  • Seat weaving and finishing

 

Day 1 will focus on design and preparing components, while Day 2 will concentrate on final assembly, seat weaving, and finishing off.

The course tutor will be Tom Dillon. Tom has been a green woodworker for over ten years, starting out as Mike Abbott’s chairmaking assistant in 2011. Since then he has been involved in woodland management and round wood timber framing projects and has worked teaching green wood crafts for a Special Education College for young adults.

 

Our experience:

 

Small Woods use only experienced professionals and woodland practitioners as tutors. We have more than 20 years’ experience of delivering courses and training and a reputation for high quality teaching and professionalism.

Small Woods courses are suitable for all levels of experience and ability and we keep course numbers low. The physical nature and/or woodland location of some courses may make them difficult for people with mobility problems. We do, however, have many years’ experience in enabling all groups to attend courses and will make every effort to ensure a satisfying experience for all.

Covid-19 and Courses

 

The Green Wood Centre has worked tirelessly to ensure that staff & visitors are entering a COVID safe environment. SWA have a duty of care to participants, staff, trainees, volunteers, etc. We ask that all tutors and participants respect the measures stated regardless of their personal views, there will be an induction by your course tutor on arrival.

In the event that a course has to be cancelled due to Covid-19, a full refund will be provided and we will suggest keeping an eye on the website and re-booking once the course has become available again.
