Basic wood carving techniques using green wood

The aim of that workshop is to put green woodworking in the context of outdoor activities with the Swedish tool- and carving tradition as a base line. It starts with a talk about the benefits of bringing carving to an outdoors setting and a survey of different practical items one can make. We then move on to cover choice of materials and discuss different properties of the species used for carving. Using carving tools such as axes, knives and spoon knives the workshop will then cover different techniques to safely and efficiently work with green wood and how to sharpen and maintain the tools. All appropriate tools will be at hand at the workshop.
