clive reviewed: Make a Greenwood Stool

"The stool making course is exactly what you want from a true hands on experience. Maurice's calm and friendly approach has re-ignited my passion for wood crafts. As a long time wood worker, I had never done any true green wood crafting, and I learnt a lot from Maurice's vast knowledge base. A great location and very relaxed atmosphere."

Touch Wood responded:

"Thanks Clive, it was great having your company at the woodland workshop!"

Ellen Price reviewed: Make a Welsh Stick Chair

"What an incredible experience. Maurice taught us so many different skills using hand tools that my grandfather used. His gentle approach, encouraging us to have a go, and helping as needed made it a satisfying experience for me as I am a complete novice. The beautiful woodland and constant birdsong was a fabulous backdrop."

Touch Wood responded:

"Thank you Ellen, it’s been a pleasure to work with you."

Vicki reviewed: Introduction to spoon carving

"I thoroughly enjoyed the spoon carving course with Maurice. He had lots of advice and information and took me through, step by step in a way I could enjoy as well as produce 3 utensils. I would highly recommend."
