We were up at Forest Research recently with Pete and Joe from Eadha Enterprises  They have been watching over a trial planting of Aspen clones for some years now. But the trees have to  come down to make room for building development. So the lads asked us to have a look  (well we kind of invited ourselves) to see what we could make form the timber. Here's a few images of Pete and Joe taking root cuttings for propagation back at their base. We split a few out and tennoned a few ends. We'll let them dry for a couple of months and see what we can make. Watch this space. For more information on Pete and Joes work have a loo

Some images of the Forest Folk that we made as part of the Wooplaw 25 celebrations this month up at Wooplaw Community Woodlands. These wee gadjies went down a treat with bairns, and adults alike. Some great colours and hair -do's don't you think. We are going to leave them in the woods to look after the trees in Axehead and Gullet Woods.

Thought we'd start a Forest Folk album set. Here's the first from Ethiopia's Omo people.  Photos from a new book by Hans Silvester
