We had beautfull tree come down with the high winds and storm and this is something I've been doing for a while is green wood working show the people I work with how to use the equipment and look what the one chap made

That's very good. Must take quite a bit of time and some patience but I imagine that it can be a relaxing hobby.

It's very therapeutic and gives people a distraction they are the most creative when working in the sunshine just chatting to each other

That's delightful and so creative,thank you for sharing with us and give that chap some more wood as he certainly has the skill to complement the material he was working with.

😊👍

It fantastic to people blossom with just nudge of encouragement

[skischool in reply to Lindon]

Keep passing on those skills and encouraging people.it is a noble pursuit and i am sure they thoroughly appreciate and enjoy what you do for them.

I love wooden objects and this one is so skilfully crafted. Using the remains of the fallen tree in this way is such a great idea. Although it is so very sad to see a tree end its life in such a way it is such a positive outcome to see it continues to be of use with a new purpose. Thanks for giving us an opportunity to appreciate such a heart warming story.

Very raw and earthly ... very talented to achieve something like this from wood .. My hubby used to carve the Totam poles for the forestry commission annual show with his chainsaw and make rough garden furniture for the children when they were very young ...

We used to own and run a local sawmill but closed 20 years ago now very sadly was a great way of life especially in the summer ☀️

I am in awe! What a skill to be able to pass on! And your "project" is so much better than any pills could ever be! I love the ladle, it's like an outpouring xx

[Alberta56]

That's great. It must be very satisfying to bring out someone's talent like this.

[Stratos20]

That’s really talented 😊

[Thepainterswife]

Oh wow ! I would love to be able to do that ! I bought my husband a set of woodworking knives and chisels a few years ago but sadly he’s not been well enough to use them so I’m hoping to have a go at some point . I even have a fallen tree , part of an ancient rowan was rotting at the bottom so I pulled it over before it fell on my greenhouse and as I’ve no means of moving it ( and I quite like it ) I made a feature of it , laid it across a corner surrounded by conifers etc and it makes a nice seat for the younger grandchildren 😊

I did my chain saw licences not only is it hard expensive as well did it while training at pershore college it's such nice Job and lucky I get work with plants and people to and now I am chatting to more nice people

[Thepainterswife]

You’re very lucky 😃 but I don’t fancy a chain saw 😧 I was thinking more of bit of whittling with a twig for starters 😂
