Start with a stump, end with a bowl!
Come and carve your very own unique bowl from a log using an axe, drawknife and various gouges. This a full day workshop.
This course is more physically demanding than carving a spoon, so would serve as a natural progression for those who have done some carving before. However keen first timers are always welcome!
