Funky Monkey Rustic Carpentry and
Green Woodworking Demonstrations
“Working Green Wood” is all about being hands on!
That’s why we really care about encouraging all to have ago! (5yrs – 95yrs!)  Green wood working is an old Countryside Craft and Skill, giving us a way of using wood sourced from local woodlands, to make various house and garden items, without the use of power tools!
Learning these skills is vital to keeping a tiny part of our great Countryside ‘living’ heritage alive. Passed on down the generations, Basket weavers, Pole lathe turners, Woven hurdle makers, Hedge layers, all these skills are encompassed within greenwood working. Here at ‘Funky Monkey’ we actively encourage young and old hands to pick up and use these tools. “Have a Go” at hewing a rustic tent peg or cleaving and shaping up a mallet. Why? “Cause Its fun, rewarding, inspiring and good for the body and soul”.
