Rethinking green woodworking
PHOTOGRAPH COURTESY OF PETER WOOD
Welcome to...
I
t’s hard avoiding stereotypes
sometimes when you tackle
certain aspects of woodworking.
Through the prism of a largely
unimaginative public perception,
green woodworking is something
that rustic folk do to pass the time
when they’re not down the allotment,
Morris dancing or listening to folk
music. That could all be about to
change, however, as more and more
of us discover the attraction of
making things from scratch from
natural materials using the most
basic of hand tools.
At a well-known tool auction
recently, I noticed a chap bidding
almost exclusively for draw knives,
axes and other green woodworking
tools. We were fi rst acquainted more
than 20 years ago so I already knew
him as a dealer. After the obligatory
exchange of pleasantries, I quizzed
him over his purchases. “Can’t get
enough of them,” he said “really
popular with the office lot who
love playing around in the woods
at the weekend.” By this, I think he
meant that his customers were not
collectors and by the sounds of it,
not professional woodworkers, either,
but recent converts to the craft.
Skills to learn
It doesn’t matter which route you take
to get into woodwork – eventually we
all end up in the same place, just not
all at the same time. As long as there
