Well we want to indicate that the woods are private. It’ll not stop people getting in but hopefully they might think\u00a0twice before coming in and disturbing anything. We are thinking carefully about the wildlife and habitats, and hope any visitors invited or univited will do the same.<\/p>\n
\u00a0We also have a responsibility for maintaining a stockproof fence along that boundary. The current owner of the adjoining field however doesn’t have current plans for keeping stock in there so I feel I can take my time over resurrecting the fence.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Why Green Woodworking?<\/strong><\/p>\n Green Woodworking is all about using timber fresh from the tree, unseasoned. I’ve reading about it as a child and been fasinated by what can made using simple hand tools ever since. Building the gate has been my first real forray into building up these skills.<\/p>\n Being self taught and experimenting I can’t claim that the gate is perfectly traditional. I know that using cleft timber is more common, however I’ve not got a froe yet. So that particular skill will to wait, it’s on the list.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
