About The Event
What to expect of this workshop?
With your tutor Mike, you will learn how to make a small gate using traditional greenwood working techniques.
Before power tools we would split our wood into usable sizes following the grain and natural curves of each log.
This course will take you from a log to a finished gate in two days, using only hand tools and traditional methods.
We will be using Sweet Chestnut which is a naturally durable wood from a sustainably managed coppice woodland in Wicklow.
