    This popped up after I finished watching your boat build. Apart from the obvious craftsmanship and nice filming, I loved the bird song. Thank you

    It’s crazy how a seed you planted 22 years ago created the wood to help you build that chair. It’s so beautiful.

    Hello from the Pacific Northwest of North America. I love this! I'm inspired. I found your channel through your boat build. As a hand tool aficionado, amateur boat builder, spoon carver, and orchardist we have some things in common. Professionally, I am a cob builder, so the background architecture also gets my full attention.

      Wow. Cob is so cool. We have many cob houses in Devon. I had no idea there is a cob tradition in the Pacific North West. That sounds amazing.

      Hi Jim That's great, thanks. I recommend Mike Abbot's book, Going With The Grain. It's a fantastic and detailed guide to green woodworking and very well written. Look forward to seeing some pictures of the chair and table.

    I love the whole circle approach. I'm interested in making a shave horse, having recently carved my first spoon. Any advice? And the mallet you used to drive the splitting wedge I assume you made yourself. Is it oak at the business end? Thanks!

    Of Course you're not the only one. But I believe that you may take criticism, without taking offence. So please instead of playing background music, I would much prefer to hear the birds sing and all the other natural sounds.

    Nice story. Well-made chair. But get the terms right. This is a heavy pruning- coppicing is at ground level. Your video is education so needs the correct terminology. Thanks and please don’t take offence.
