Green woodworking involves working with fresh wood that is still full of water, which makes it easier to carve. Carving spoons is the most popular use of this, but there are many things that can be made. For this class we will learn how to safely use a sloyd knife (a straight knife commonly used for this) to start to carve a butter spreader as an introduction to green woodworking. All materials will be provided.
