About the event

Make a hay rake using traditional woodworking tools and methods with David Wheeler, local craftsman and furniture maker.
This rake is the more robust 'big brother' of the split handle rake, and requires the bending of a bow using steam.

Bradfield Woods open air workshop offers protection from the rain and a fireplace should it be chilly! All wood, tools and expertise will be supplied on the day. All you need is warm clothing, strong footwear and a packed lunch. 

As an experienced furniture designer and maker and lecturer in furniture studies, David has combined his skills to run green wood courses for small groups. For further information on David's work, go to www.woodworkschool.co.uk

Tea and coffee will be provided.
