Make a hay rake using traditional woodworking tools and methods with David Wheeler, local craftsman and furniture maker.

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
