Make your own garden rake! Using green ash wood, you will spend the day cleaving and shaping components using traditional tools and devices – a shave-horse and drawknife, a tyne-cutter and a brace and bit – before fixing it all together and giving it a try on some of the many shavings you will have created throughout the day.

You will learn;

The use of green woodworking tools

How to cleave and peg an ash pole for a handle

How to use a tyne cutter to create identical rake ‘teeth’
