Getting all the stool top blanks sorted out today for the last of the InStead Stool making workshop that we offered as a fundraising reward for Trixpix Medias beautiful film TIm Stead : Magician With Wood. We are so pleased that Beatrix Woods documentary has achieved such great success at The Swedish International Film Festival (Best Feature Length Documentary) and many others ion the Far East and elsewhere in Europe. The film will be on general release very soon and daytime telly as well ! An inspirational film about an inspirational man and his work in wood.

We ran our first Wagatabon tray carving course last recently. Brian (our resident spoon and shrink pot guru) and I have been wanting to organise this course for a few years. Our good friend Masashi Kutsuwa gave us permission to follow his making guide. Mas worked with us here in Scotland 2004-6 and was a great inspiration for many approaches in the workshop and now teaches full time in Gifu Academy of Forest Science and Culture in Japan. One of his earlier books on green woodworking is available online.
