Duncan Wigney reviewed: Spoon carving course (1 day)

"A really enjoyable day. I'd carved a couple of spoons using books/youtube for guidance but there is nothing like have an expert trainer available to answer your specific questions. A beautiful setting, great lunch and I learned a lot. Couldn't recommend it more highly."

The Coppice Plot responded:

"Thanks very much for the review Duncan. Congrats on your spoon and happy carving. Cheers, David "

Al (Fred) Skilton reviewed: Spoon carving course (1 day)

"A fantastic course by David. He’s clearly a very knowledgable guy. Small numbers meant lots of 1-2-1 help when needed and we all finished the day with a spoon. His instructions were very clear and easy to follow and the whole day was relaxing, whilst learning a lot. It never felt rushed and meant that we could enjoy the beautiful surroundings. Great lunch too! "

The Coppice Plot responded:

"Hi Fred, Thanks so much for the review and I'm delighted you enjoyed the day. All the best, David "

Rosie Frewin reviewed: Spoon carving course (1 day)

"I really enjoyed my day in the wood carving a spoon. We were a small group of 5, well looked after by David. The approach was friendly, informative, supportive and safe. No question too silly, with a perfect pace of working through the stages. I am really pleased with my final creation, it actually looks like a spoon! I would definitely recommend this day to anyone seeking something creative, mindful and rewarding"

The Coppice Plot responded:

"Hi Rosie, thanks so much for your review. I’m delighted that you enjoyed the course and congratulations on your excellent spoon. All the best, David"
