Customized instruction can be at the Langsner's mountain workshop, or just about anywhere else. But only when something interesting comes up. I no longer organize classes that are publicly announced. Prolific and skillful, and always happy to share his knowledge. Jögge has a beautiful and inspiring website: David Fisher is one of our best bowl and spoon carvers. Can anyone pass along a recommendation on where to buy my first adze Also,looking on ebay I find mostly one's available from Bulgaria. Jögge Sundqvist has occasional courses in the US, besides teaching in Sweden and other venues. Ok, with all these beautiful kuksa and bowl posts recently my adze envy is peaking. His classes are announced in his very informative and fun blog Peter Follansbee, our summer intern in 1988, teaches at scattered venues around the globe. The latest schedule is available on their web site. Show All Adze 18.8 Tool 5.7 Axe 5.3 Blade 2.5 Wood carving 2.1 Leather 1.9 Knife 1.7 Bowl 1.6 Handle 1.4 Tool. All but one class filled in 2017, their first year. Kenneth and Angela Kortemeier have started the Maine Coast Craft School. The good news is that there are now many good instructional alternatives. Sorry, but it's just too much to wade through. We decided to omit the detailed descriptions of our various classes from this Archive. (Many interns helped make them.) These are a significant improvement compared to older more traditional froes. Developed by Drew and produced for many years at the CW workshop.

You can also make your own mule, with the ratchet platform. Tom makes the classic ratchet style, and the innovative Orgami Z Mule. In our opinion it's the best shaving horse out there. Our hybrid version of a shaving horse, which we call a "mule," is available directly from the maker, Tom Donahey.

One problem is that demand in recent years far exceeds what these folks can produce. The Maine Coast Craft School is now the North American distributor for both of these excellent small firms. The CW Store - which offered a refined selection of tools, books, plans and videos - is not included in the archive. You will need to dig through these they are in dated sequence rather than organized by subject. A few examples: several entries on sharpening techniques, understanding oil finishes, riving into thirds, chopping stumps with legs, and much more. More relevant, the newsletters contain a variety of articles on many aspects of traditional and green woodworking that CW addressed. In the Newsletter we announced what would be coming up - now history.

We've decided to create this Archive that can become a resource going forward. And if so, how? The answer is Yes and No. That was the case with my 5 year-old GF stuff, sold on e-bay.When Country Workshops closed down in 2017, we asked ourselves if the CW web site should be preserved. One advantage of getting a high quality tool is that it will sell second-hand for at least what you paid for it and maybe more, depending on how long you've had it and assuming it's in very good condition. I sold all my green woodworking tools some years ago, returning to cabinetmaking from making the stuff more typical in green woodworking. If you want to make loadsa bowls, the adze is worth getting. Some just use the bent gouge, which is slower but you save the price of a good adze. In fact, both are useful for different stages of hollowing out a bit of half-log: the adze for the major chopping at the start and the gouge for refining the inside curve as it approaches "finished". I've not used a gutter adze from other manufacturers, though, to compare them. As JC2 says, the angle of the dangle is critical but the GF adze worked well for me and took a wicked-sharp edge of good resilience. GRÄNSFORS are very good - I used one of their gutter adze to make bowls in my green woodworking phase.
