Green woodworking is enjoying increasing popularity. In 2003 I had a go at using fresh, wet wood with tools such as a throe, shave horse and pole lathe.

In the woods near Bath and Bristol I met up with green woodworking experts  Bob Slade, Tom Redfern, Nick Sneller and Joe Cooper (see links).










I let my router loose on some interesting logs which otherwise would have been burned. See routing.
