19^th April Cherry Wood nr Bath

It is always a pleasure to visit my favourite venue and enjoy the hospitality of Tim Gatfield and family. Since my last visit they had built a new shower cabin and extended their training opportunities to two very lucky young men. Tim has a habit of hanging on to his apprentices after their tenure. Tom is on site regularly making knives and Ollie lives just a few miles away in his yurt in Box.

I am going back in August to attend a leatherworking course with Rob Exton who has written many articles for Living Wood magazine on all sorts of crafts and courses.
