A stool in a day! (private group, full day)

Come and make a stool in a day! Be guided through the steps of making a handmade, one-of-a-kind stool from locally milled timber. Then take it home to sit on, or maybe rest your coffee cup on. Suitable for up to four participants (five at a push), due to space and close tuition.

On the day, you'll select your seat from a range of slabs milled from local trees (e.g. beech, oak, ash) which have been air-dried over several years. Then spend time refining the shape, before selecting leg stock and setting-about shaping the legs. We'll learn to make round mortise and tenon joints, and assemble the parts into your finished stool. The day is good fun, but - in parts - involves some physical exertion!

As well as the techniques directly relating to the stool you make, you will learn about wood as a raw material and how wood is harvested and processed.

It goes without saying your creation will be yours to take away!
