Alison reviewed: Craft Your Own Carving Bench: One to One Woodworking Class

"I have had a fabulous day in a wonderful, peaceful woodland, learning how to use a range of hand tools to make a shave horse/carving bench. Matt is an excellent instructor, explaining and demonstrating everything clearly and helping me to develop my technique in a supportive and encouraging way. His knowledge is extensive and he was able to adapt the design in order to tailor it for my use. The woodland was a glorious place to spend the day, with dappled sunshine and birdsong to accompany our work. Thank you!"

Manor Wood responded:

"Hi Alison, thanks for the review! Really enjoyed the day and a fantastic shave horse was made! "
