Future Craftsman
Jake came on Saturday and really enjoyed his Introduction to Green Woodwork day.
He turned a rounders bat from Chestnut...
...and carved a Willow spoon.
He showed a strong aptitude for this type of thing and has been encouraged by his dad, Mark, who came with him and took these photos on a lovely sunny day.
He would like to become a musical instrument maker and I wish him well - we need to encourage our future craftsmen (and women) at an early age.

Great post. It's so good to see younger people doing more than playing video games. I'm sure the kids you work with really get a lot of fulfillment making things with there own hands. God job!
"...we need to encourage our future craftsmen (and women) at an early age."
Amen!
What a great post! I have often remarked that if we (Parents, adults, society) don't take charge of our children and help them grow into their potential, then we have noone to blame for our doom but ourselves.
Thanks for posting!

Oh, one more thing.
Would it be too much trouble for you to do a post on your lathe? If you already have I'll find it soon!
