First Project



Due to lack of good quality straight Ash I decided to have a go at making some stools rather than go for the chairs, I am glad I did as it enabled me to practice a lot of the skills, such as using the shave horse and the pole lathe.
The seat is made from bullrush collected from our local river the Waveney, it was dried and then plaited before weaving onto the stool, it is very strong and we like the colour although sadly that will fade.
