Aaron Sterritt green woodworking
“At the core of all my work is a relationship between man and the material I work with.
I like to combine and highlight the differences between nature, humanhand and machine.”
Aaron’s understanding of wood is totally focused on shaping and crafting wood in a natural way, using the the axe, shave horse, drawknife and spoke shave tools. Splitting the wood along the cells of the grain, keeping the strength of the timber intact and creating beautiful, natural shapes to create functional and decorative items of furniture, or sculpture.
Aaron also offers green woodworking courses using traditional techniques that have been developed over hundreds of years, in harmony with the nature and qualities of the wood itself. Dates are now available for 2021 to spend time in the woods at nearby Logie Steading, learning new skills and meeting new folk. Green woodworking is a traditional practice using fresh wood still full of sap allowing the tools to split, slice, shave and cleave through the wood with ease. No prior wood working experience is necessary, these courses are for all abilities.
