Maker's bio

Ged first got into green woodworking through renovating his house and garden. He built his own bespoke kitchen from wood and taught himself as he went. He enjoyed it so much he decided he'd like to teach others how to craft beautiful items from natural resources. Ged's interests include hill walking, bird watching, yoga, conservation, environmental issues and northern soul. He's a very calm and encouraging teacher and an all round great human being!

Alan reviewed: Log to Stool with Gedwood

"Did this day course with my adult daughter and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. Ged's cottage and workshop is located in a lovely setting and this in itself is uplifting. The course itself is excellent with high quality tools and natural materials supplied, moreover Ged is an excellent tutor who is highly skilled and has infinite patience. All in all a wonderful experience which was relaxing and therapeutic, with the added bonus of a lovely handcrafted stool to take away. Highly recommended!"

Gedwood responded:

"Many thanks Alan. Glad you and Hannah enjoyed the experience and making some fine stools 😊"
