Clare Muir reviewed: Stool making course at Sallerton Wood

"My daughter and I really enjoyed attending this Stool Making workshop and returned home with some lovely stools. The experience of working with a newly felled tree, stripping the bark, splitting / shaping the wood , assembling the frame and finally weaving the top was extremely satisfying. We loved being within the nature and tranquility of Sallerton Woods and the protection offered by the beautiful wooden structures we worked beneath. Andy taught and looked after us so well. His ability to juggle our tuition as well as providing us with regular refreshments was very impressive. Enjoying freshly cooked pizza from the clay oven was a definite highlight. We stayed a few miles away at Beera Bed and Breakfast,where we were also very well looked after. We would love to visit again, with a different green wood challenge!"

Simon S reviewed: Greenwood carving at Sallerton Wood

"Thanks to Andy and team for two fantastic days in the wonderful woodland workshop at Sallerton Wood. It’s so rewarding taking a piece of tree that has grown in the woods and turning it into something beautiful and functional, and all without the need for power tools. It’s clear Andy has lots of knowledge in all aspects of woodwork and woodland management and is a great tutor, whatever your previous experience or skill level."

Sallerton Wood responded:

"Thanks very much, Simon, for your kind and enthusiastic review. It's great that you enjoyed the course and woodland, and thanks for choosing us for this green woodworking experience. We hope that you enjoy using the kuksa that you made during the course, and we look forward to meeting you again one day if you choose to participate in another course at Sallerton Wood."
