Greenwood working

Green wood working tools.


Green wood worker Mike Ellis led me in a two day workshop, which introduced me to several of the basic methiods employed in geen wood working. If I am to successfully create a coracle from green wood, I will have to become proficient in them all.

Mike Ellis is the only green wood worker we know of in the North of Scotland, offering workshops in green wood methods and we are lucky enough to have him here in Hlemsdale - how convenient!

All this bashing is good!



Draw knifing a lath.


Bendy Ash is what we want.
