Another great experience at Among the Trees, this time making a paddle. Hands on with spoke shaves, rasps and hand drills, with excellent tuition from Liz.
I walked away with a beautiful reclaimed timber paddle - sanded and oiled and ready for use. A nice way to spend a Friday night.

For someone with a basic knowledge of hand tools who knows the importance of sharpening but lacks the know how - this is an excellent course! There was good information pre-course about what to expect, a friendly welcome and a workbench set up with all the equipment ready to go. Luke was an engaging and attentive teacher who assisted us all with our various questions and need for one-on-one sharpening technique help.
Among the Trees is an inspiring space to work in and easy to get to by train.
