Simon Wake reviewed: Spoon carving at Walderchain Wood, Canterbury

"I would just like to say what a wonderful day I had at Walderchain Wood. Mark is a very knowledgeable person in every aspect of the spoon carving/whittling processes and knows what types of wood to be using for different applications. The small group of us were lucky enough to have a tour of the woodland areas explaining different aspects of keeping and maintaining the woods. The course itself was very in depth and Mark explained every aspect very clearly, going through how to use each tool efficiently and safely. I will be using the skills I learned in the future to make more spoons. I cannot recommend enough if you want to reconnect with nature and have a great day spoon carving. P.S Thanks Christina for a lovely lunch :)"

Walderchain Wood responded:

" Simon Thank you for joining us and taking time to review the class. Glad you enjoyed the day and to hear you'll be making more spoons. I look forward to seeing your future creations. All the best Mark and Cristina "

Hannah Lees reviewed: Spoon carving at Walderchain Wood, Canterbury

"I cannot fault Mark's session in any way, an absolute pleasure from start to finish with a wonderful crescendo of Cristina's DELICIOUS lunch in the middle! Mark is an excellent teacher with a generous and easy manner and a gentle approach. His woodland is glorious and I was made to feel very at home. I came home with a spoon and a shopping list, thanks to Mark's incredibly useful follow-up email. I would definitely book again :-)"
