Crisp and Beautiful Apple Day at Acorn Bank

Woodmatters were demonstrating spoon carving and selling spoons. Most popular was people buying spoons carved there and then by Gareth so they could see a log transform into something useful and beautiful. Nowadays we are often so distanced from how and from where things are made that there is something very grounding about seeing a log gets turned into an everyday object before your eyes.

As well as the greenwood carving there were lots of apple-y things to do, music to listen to, games to play including the apple bowling alley!

Thanks to Chris, Sara, Kelley and team from the National Trust for a great day.
