....................................

Just so you are aware this is a physical course involving using carving axes and drawknives. It is suitable for beginners however you will need a certain amount of arm strength for the axe work. It's important to pace yourself throughout the day and rest your arms when you get tired. The course sometimes over runs so please do let Gareth know if you need to be away at a certain time.
